We were just quorate for the full parish meeting as late summer holidays had taken their toll on members.
It meant a brisk trot through the agenda until we reached the ‘pallet’ problem. It’s one of those interminable planning issues which make Jarndyce and Jarndyce seem like an open and shut case.
So I suggested that perhaps we copy in our district councillor on the correspondence to see if he could get some resolution.
Some members laughed, one said something rude and another just stared at me like I’d announced I was from Mars.

And if you want to know the identity of the councillor in question, well it shouldn't be too hard to find out, but I'll post it up if anyone wants to know. My point, though, was a wider one about holding members to account.
