At home this week I've had about eight or nine phone calls from
constituents in Middleton Park ward. Some of them have been people
angry that their bonfire has been axed. Or people concerned about the
dangers of unofficial bonfire and firework parties springing up all
over south Leeds, as people have nowhere else to go.
As the Middleton Park councillors aren't responsible for axing the
bonfire I thought it might be helpful to let people speak to the guy
responsible - Conservative Councillor John Procter. As many local
people read my blog, and have visited the new
www.stopthecuts.co.uk website, I thought it would be helpful to point them in John's direction.
Oh dear. It appears that John doesn't actually want to talk to people.
He's rather upset that I've asked people to call him and express thier views.
Somebody should remind Councillor Procter that as a public
representative he is accountable to the public. All of Councillor
Procter's
contact details are published on the council
website. I could have
directed people to visit him at one of his advice surgeries but his entry on the council website doesn't list any!
