I think your right about Cllr Feakes, he was also chair at the local meeting re the planning permission for Piplings on 14/09/10.

Nothing like someone with their eye on the votes of political elections to add a little impartiality!

On that subject, considering the mistrust that this has generated, who is doing the count and verifying the secret ballot re the confidence vote?

Concerning the vote of confidence in the committee, I was surprised that the blue slips didn't come with only a yes box, as it appears that the committee like to do the thinking for us.
