If Shepway District Council have nothing to hide, they have nothing to fear. It appears though SDC are now hiding the questions put by the public to them at full council on Wednesday 21st Dec 2016. And also removing them from the public document (see below)
Item 6 were the questions from the public, but as one can see they have nowdisappearedas of this morning 23/12/16. Why is that? What do SDC wish to hide from the public?
We also note SDC have removed the questions from the public documents pack too…

Why isn’t there a cozumel estates website if people want to look at previous projects? Tibblalds and other organisations mentioned in paperwork can all be viewed online. What is the nature of their relationship and where is the partnership agreement or con tract?

I wonder if the ‘ommission’ of the answer is because the Council are embarrassed giving wads of cash to someone who is “considerably richer than yow!” (Harry Enflied)
However thanks to the good offices of ShepwayVox – the truth is there for all to see.
I have written to Cllr Monk on no less than 5 occasions. I am still waiting to hear from him. I even live in his ward, but have got no response thus far. How many times do I have to write?
