Barnet council curtails local democracy
EMERGENCY MEETING MONDAY 8 JULY
6.30pm, Greek Cypriot Centre, N12 9RU
The rights we have to address council committees about the issues we are concerned about are going to disappear. Comments at committee will be limited to one per person. Accountability is being eroded with 25 committee meetings cancelled since May last year.
A proposal to restrict democracy was approved at the Constitution and General Purposes Committee on the 25 June. This needs to be agreed at a Full Council meeting on Tuesday 30 July 2019.
Come to the emergency meeting of all those concerned with the right of residents to raise issues in council committee meetings. The meeting will take place on Monday 8 July 6.30 pm, at the Greek Cypriot centre, Britannia Road, N12 9RU.
