They never make a scrap of difference. The Leader needs to set the tone, communicate it effectively, Lead by example, and come down like a ton of bricks on anyone who lets the side down. Anything else is a waste of time.<br /><br />I shudder to think how many man hours were spent on writing the papers for the Committee on Monday, and even more man hours reading the papers (they probably were not read) and discussing<br />at Committee. Members will have left the Committee thinking to themselves "what a waste of time".<br /><br />And in case I am accused of bias or worse, please allow me to correct myself. "man hours" is no longer PC.

This seems to have been made up by one of the disgruntled former councillors who have been ousted since Grenfell.<br /><br />The Administration Committee has existed since 19 July 2001, so it's definitely not something new.<br />The need for a revised Code of Conduct document, stating how both councillors and council employees should behave, became very obvious after Grenfell, which is why it is now being prepared. And since 2011 the Localism Act has required that councils have a body of independent persons who scrutinise how the council interacts with the residents. The three person Ethics Panel is an attempt by the RBKC to implement this.<br />Barry Quirk has been hired to bring the RBKC council into the 21st century, teaching the councillors that they need to work for the residents instead of for themselves, precisely what Dame loves to criticise our politicians for.

What on earth are they doing with our Council Tax playing at being at being Whiggs? The feudal society is no more. Local Government should be restricted to clearing the dustbins and cleaning the parks.

I agree that RBKC have not acted in the best interests of residents and that there has been a culture of bullying by in particular some officers, but I am optimistic that there are attempts to consign this to the past. I believe the inquiry has the email I refer to. 10:11 epitomises some of the idiotic comments posted here. The Dame has shown over the years that if we are going to effect change we have to be sensible in our actions and comments.

I want to give one example regarding the Grenfell cladding. Fielding Mellon has been accused of making savings that resulted in the awful tragedy, wanted posters have been put up around Ladbroke Grove, yet the press and all his other accusers have ignored an email he wrote to a TMO director stating that he supported the more expensive option also the evidence suggests that he did not get involved in the decision. So Dame out of respect for those who lost their lives in the the Grenfell tragedy stop giving a platform to the mob and left-wing rabble, who see themselves as judge and jury, because only the facts will deliver justice and ensure this never happens again.
