I forget to update this site with Glos Green news releases over the last few days - have been too many items recently - anyhow see them at our website - comments from me re the budget stuff and re juries blaming women for 'drunk rape'.This evening I went carol singing with Woodcraft Folk (6 to 10 year olds - see photo) at Paganhill Sheltered housing where we all sang then distributed gifts to the residents - not sure I'm quite in the festive mood yet but did wrap some tinsel around to help me get there - then in a serious gale I managed to drop my partner's granddaughter home before getting to Cabinet meeting at Ebley Mill for 7pm.
I was going to write some of that meeting up here but it is all on the District Council website - it is in some ways a strange meeting as it is really about the Cabinet making decisions - other councillors can ask questions but it is not really the place for debate - more about getting info - and for the Cabinet to make some political points which they always do - some of it seems a little staged like questions from councillors designed to illicit responses from Cabinet members that put them in a good light and the Government in a bad one....fair enough perhaps as some of the criticisms were valid.
However it was nice to hear a specific acknowledgement and thanks from the Cabinet for the Green party's contribution to the debate on the Environment Green paper - the next consultation document is out and we already have a team of Greens looking at it before the next deadline on 15th January - a brief look would seem to indicate that the paper has taken on many of our ideas and hopes - will have to look closer!!
