Some of you may have heard that the City Council is consulting on how to make decisions. Ruth and I both have strong opinions on this issue — and I’ll speak my mind at another point — but what matters now is that you let your voice be heard. The deadline for consultation is next month but decision are being made right now about the budget which will cut the present arrangements for civic engagement. No wonder the consultation itself is not well publicised. But that makes it all the more important that you do make sure you give your views. Here’s the webpage to go to:

Remember: the deadline is Friday, 25th March. And we would be very interested to hear what you have to say so do also drop us an e-mail or comment on this site. Thanks!
