Know your Standing Orders

When I was elected to a council a fellow councillor advised me to read the standing orders,  Standing orders can be used to good effect, particularly by non-Cabinet councillors, to raise issues and also force debates through amendments to resolutions,

I was surprised the Leader of Tunbridge Wells Borough Council claimed at last night's full Council meeting not to know if it was in order for him to propose an amendment to a resolution.  As Leader of the Council he should know the procedures.
