Friday, February 10, 2012 at 11:57 AMSuch a shame, Nick Harvey was the one councillor you could actually trust, he worked Hard and claimed no allowances or expenses, maybe this is why SBC failed to communicate with him, he did not tow the line and join the gravy train, unlike his counterparts in the Herford Ward. Looks like the community will get another council Robot unless the community stands behind the candidates, Parish Council put some one up to go against the candidates as your always saying your there for the benefit of us hunmanby residents

The time it has taken for the by-election to be called suggests that none of the parties have anyone to put forward who they have great confidence in. We are all good at moaning, but few of us seem to have the capability or lifestyle to put themselves forward for political office...

Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at 12:37 PMSuch a hard working Cllr. who claimed nothing in allowances and expenses should never have been forced out in this way. Still no explanation from SBC as to what went wrong with their communications with him - perhaps because he fought for the rights of the rural dwellers and was not one of Sly's sychophants !!
