Today’s Council meeting was little more than a waste of two hours.

Most of the time was spent with questions being asked by the apparently-obstructive members of the Liberal Democrats from Worthing who did not appear to have anyone’s interests at heart — just a desire to make the cabinet members work harder.

And our own Council had a thorn in its side with irrelevant questions being asked by one of our number (who shall remain nameless) who claimed to have read the report but continued to ask questions which were clearly answered in the report.

And how many members of the public were there? Two. But frankly I am glad of that because it was an entirely embarassing show because, actually, no-one had a concrete problem with the proposal to start the process of merging services provided by Adur and Worthing Councils, but they all felt they ought to have a debate.

Yawn.
