Argyll and Bute: Cutting the Most Vulnerable: Part 2<\/h1>\n

Argyll andBute: Cutting the Most Vulnerable: Part 2<\/p>\n

\"proposals\"<\/p>\n

Two Points that are New (new information to us) are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The proposals (as predicted in our last article) are now missing from where they were on Argyll and Bute Councils Websites<\/strong>. But don\u2019t worry Argyll and Bute \u2013 We saved a copy for everyone. You can download them here Service Choices Report \u2013 Appendix 1-1<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. The reason I couldn\u2019t get the Minutes from the Proposals meeting was because there weren\u2019t any. (Let that sink in \u2013 We\u2019re meant to be a democratic country<\/strong>).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 These proposals were hatched in secret by 12 of the 36 councillors.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    The group that they formed was NOT a committee of the council and no papers were published nor minutes produced. (Michael Breslin was one of the 24 councillors kept in the dark.\u00a0 More detailed exploration into this story can be found on http:\/\/blog.breslin.scot\/<\/a> (This is Michael Breslin\u2019s Website and actually gives you an insight into how underhanded this entire omnishambles has become)..<\/p>\n

    It should also be noted that SNP was in that room, part of that group (I wouldn\u2019t be doing my duty to you if I didn\u2019t tell you that \u2013 its not exactly making me sing inside but you guys need to know that I don\u2019t mind being uncomfortable about this)\u2026 Iain MacLean, Sandy Taylor, Gordon Blair and Richard Trail.<\/p>\n

    And as for\u00a0 6 others\u2026..we\u2019ll have you soon<\/span> they were Dick Walsh (Independent),\u00a0Gary Mulvaney (Conservative),\u00a0 Roddy McCuish (Independent), Robin Currie (Liberal Democrats), Ellen Morton (Liberal Democrats) & Aileen Morton (Liberal Democrats). We\u2019re missing 2 (should be noted that these names have came from 3 sources now\u2026always missing the same two). It\u2019ll be sorted soon. (Ammended Data: The missing names are from Trade Unions)<\/p>\n

    Action Points (Which I promised in the first article<\/a>[1]<\/a> are now ready):<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. FIRST: There is an OPEN PUBLIC meeting about this on the 8th<\/sup> of October<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Anyone that can go \u2013 SHOULD GO. <\/strong>It is a meeting of the Policy & Resources Committee of Argyll and Bute Council on Thursday 8th of October.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

      (Goodluck, btw, in trying to find Information to Attend. We had to seriously dig through and here is what we have)<\/a>[2]<\/a><\/p>\n

      \"attendance\"<\/p>\n

      Thursday, 8 October 2015 10:30 am<\/u>, Policy and Resources Committee<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      Venue:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0COUNCIL CHAMBERS, KILMORY, LOCHGILPHEAD<\/h3>\n

      Ironically if you have one of the 100s of jobs they are proposing to cut \u2013 I doubt you\u2019ll be able to attend at 10.30am on Thursday but try and find someone who can<\/u><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. You can\u2019t attend \u2013 its NOT over. If you wish to Lobby (write, tell them you are not happy and demand they do something) your MP: These are the people you are looking for http:\/\/www.argyll-bute.gov.uk\/councillor_list<\/a> (don\u2019t worry should that page go down \u2013 I\u2019ll very helpfully re-upload it for them on my site)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

        If you are not from Argyll and Bute Council \u2013 you\u2019re probably thinking \u201cThis doesn\u2019t affect me\u201d. Actually it does. If they pull this off and successfully cut these services in Argyll and Bute \u2013 it will set a precedence and what started off as a stand against one council will open out into <\/em>every<\/em><\/strong> Council. Don\u2019t make all of our lives a misery by NOT taking a stand. WRITE to your MSP, your Party, Make this an Issue \u2013 Let EVERYONE know what is happening here and why it matters.<\/em><\/p>\n

        \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-<\/p>\n

        <\/a>[1]<\/a> You will notice that this is the first time in our history that we have ever written a part two to an article (previous article detailing some of the proposals available here http:\/\/bravemany.com\/?p=1144<\/a> ) but THAT is how bad this story is becoming.<\/p>\n
