Independent Cllr calls for power sharing on Westport Town Council

You don't state what any of these councillors stand for. You just leave it to us to guess what their positions might be on any particular issue. If they are all interchangable, as you seem to be suggesting, then why should any of us concern ourselves with who occupies what position on the council?
Particularly when some of us have had to leave the west to get jobs

I think it's a cool idea.

Your dead right Ho-hum.

"My Independent colleague Cllr Martin Keane has been a councillor for over ten years yet he was never elected to the chair."

So nobody voted for him? Well stop whining then. Try and get some votes like everyone else, not that we even know who he is and what he stands for.

Yes, of course it should be rotated and not just there but all the councils.

Better to keep quiet when you don't know what you are talking about.

The story says the council prides itself on leaving politics outside the door yet has excluded a ten year serving independent cllr.

Now do you understand?

How can they leave politics outside the chamber yet still discriminate against a cllr?

Read the stories before you post.....that's all I ask.

I think there should be more power sharing.
Never been to Westport but Cllr martin, if you are there keep up the good work and don't bother with the nay sayers who don't bother to read before commenting!
