The Chief Executive should come forward and explain why this matter was not placed before the council standards committee.

I hope the material viewed from the laptop is still available should it now be thought that this matter should be so referred.

Why have your elected councillors not been informed prior to reading it in the Echo?

Who rules this council on you, the residents’ behalf – the officers or your elected members?
