Council inactivity

I made the effort to attend the monthly council meeting back in Jan as the Sustainable Communities Act was up for discussion.
Unfortunately, the council members were very dismissive of the act despite it's positive take up across many councils in the country. One councillor, who had previously championed himself as a councillor of the common man, made a derogatory remarks about the Act, despite the fact that it is plainly there to give the man on the street more say in the community.
The general consensus from the council was to wait and see what they could get out of it rather than what it could do for the people of Bromley.
Above all, it was a real eye opener watching important decisions being made (or not) on our behalf by a cabal of old fellas.
