Today we were asked the following question,Q: Do you think that swapping DCC members for ones that are more in line with party policy is tantamount to vote rigging?
A: Oh yes, we do!
During one of our discussions with B&NES' Democratic Services we were told the DCC was supposed to assess all planning matters in an independent way, i.e. without consideration for party affiliation. This has not happened with the BTP applications.
Furthermore, it is unprofessional for some DCC members, regardless of their political allegiance, to have not even read associated documentation or visited the sites connected with a major project such as this.
The more we’ve investigated this planning application, the more we are convinced there should be checks and balances in place to prevent the abuse of process that seems to be going on.
