Thanks for the replies, so to be honest the vote of no confidence was more of something i was considering due to a long list of broken rules including the fact only friends of the council can ask questions, a number of the community have consistently been interrupted by certain members of the council despite the fact there was nothing wrong with their questions, me included..I just find it all concerning including the register of interest where it is a criminal offence that they haven't even updated it, and yet no one does anything about it. As a community we have not had our minutes published in months meaning no one actually knows if their questions are been recorded. I don't personally want to have to resort to such actions, but i'm just finding one thing after another that doesn't seem right. Tonight we had a consultancy regarding speeding so we had an extra hour to raise concerns on that subject specifically, and it was brought to my attention that a resident had claimed(prior to the meeting) that they never got a flyer(which is possible because of the layout of the house) The clerk claimed in an open meeting tonight that every house got a flyer, but i tried to bring up that residents were claiming that they didn't get one and even said a specifc street just in case they had made a mistake(because of the layout of the houses in that street it is possible to miss ones out by mistake) And the clerk literally shut me down. Regardless of whether it's legal or not, i don't find it to be moral, as for the voting of the councillor, yes they could have stated whether they had an objection, but that wasn't how they did it the past 2 times which is why i was concerned, to me it looked like the chairman was prepared to even skip the proposal and seconder because she was going to invite the candidate to the table before that even happened as those words came out of her mouth.
