A clear success. Following from this I might attempt to pursue similar openness with respect to the Ranger Steering Group next.

She had been reading this post and shouted at me from about a meter away telling me that she does not collect childcare allowance. I asked if she could do something to ensure the statement of members allowances is published and she said no, that wasn't her responsibility. I reminded Cllr Blair that she was a member of the City Council. Councillor Blair accosted me at the CB1 Transport Issues Meeting” on the 7th of October 2008.
