Cllr Mike Butcher

Much debate this evening about the scrapping of the area Scrutiny Meetings for both Gorleston & Gt Yarmouth.  These were scrapped in the interest of economy.  It was felt that Councillors should be spending their time in closer contact with all the electorate in the respective wards.  it was, however, agreed that the current meetings should be seen as area surgery’s which would allow the public to access their Councillors.  The meeting also approved the budget.
