To consider Motions of which Notice has been given pursuant to Procedure Rule 11

"Council deplores the unfortunate and ill-judged remarks of the Deputy Leader published in the local press on June 2nd. It is deeply disappointing to hear the majority of members of this chamber, who work hard for their communities and on whom the minority administration must rely for Council business to be carried on, being referred to as 'odds and sods'. Both Council Members and Ashford residents have found this deeply offensive: it brings the Council itself into disrepute and reflects badly on the whole democratic process, so I would respectfully ask Cllr Bartlett to apologise to full Council."

 

Councillor Liz Wright
