ARE COUNCILLORS ABOVE THE LAW?
We demand that councillors should be accountable in law and that severe statutory
sanctions should be in place for them and their legal advisers for any unlawful actions and proven instances of gross maladministration!
Why is this important?
Currently there are no mechanisms available to hold errant councillors to account other than through judicial review, which is beyond the financial reaches of the average member of the electorate, This is clearly unacceptable in a true democracy especially when councillors are currently judged by the Ombudsman or any other legislative body to be at serious fault they are not held accountable for their unlawful and maladministration practices/decisions!
