More behind closed doors decisions

BehindClosedDoors 2015

The York Council is continuing its policy of printing agendas and reports for officer decision meetings after they have taken place.

This robs interested residents of the opportunity to make representations.

Two recent examples have been

  1. A decision on introducing residents parking priority in Newborough Street
  2. A proposal ” To convert three existing Housing Support Worker posts to specialist Mental Health Support Worker posts; Director of Communities & Neighbourhoods

There is no reason why advanced notice of issues like these should not be given
