To expect council officers to work for free at the weekend is taking 'public
service' a step too far. Kate is absolutely right, and I quite understand her
feelings of frustration following some of the negative comments that have
appeared on this forum. Ther is absolutely no reason why officers should have
to defend their 'free' time.
How Area Committees can be improved is as I have already explained a topic of
debate and discussion with the administration, so constructive and realistic
suggestions are very welcome.
Most councillors have full time jobs so part of their weekends are already
spent meeting their constituents in a variety of settings and attending weekend
events in their areas. I'm sure they would consider joining Saturday meetings
as this is what they would already be doing..
As a city councillor I respect and value the hard work and dedication of our
workforce. Most of them do difficult jobs and rarely get any thanks, and it's
certain that you would notice if they stopped doing it!
So, for one, thank you Kate and enjoy your weekend with your family, guilt
free!
