Thank You George

It's not often enough that councillors say a simple thank you to other councillors for their hard work and showing a little respect goes a long way.   In the past I thought that this simple gesture would at least put some humanity into what has become a very highly charged political Cornwall Council.  Ten years ago when I first became a councillor the councillors seemed different respect was the order of the day and people worked together for the good of Cornwall.  The administration back then was a coalition of all the groups lead by John Lobb a gentleman and who worked with all for the good of all, something that would not happen today.  In the last council that. Changed with one party having the majority which brought about our unitary authority a bad decision (a blog about that later) from a failing council.  In the last four years I have seen little willingness to contribute to the good for all and politics rule the faceless world of the council, twitter and blog don't have to tell the truth.  Perhaps a little more respect would not be missed in the political world of Cornwall.

Now back to the job in hand, can I say a personal thank you to George Trubody for his hard work as the councilors for Rame.  I know this will have been a difficult decision for you and your family but you should be proud of you achievements over the last four years.  Thank you and I wish you well for the future
