Judge us on our results, the new Leader of B&NES told me this morning. Cllr Kevin Guy said his ruling administration were a ‘listening group’ and that he – personally – was not just a person who talked about taking action – but one who gets things done.
Cllr Guy was speaking to me at the start of a week in which he and his new cabinet will be getting down to business – and one of the most important reports they were all waiting for was one about kick-starting the local economy – that’s due in a fortnight.
I was told our meeting was a ‘getting to know each other’ event, but l did manage to persuade him to let me put some issues on tape – and here is that Q and A session.
Well, he is certainly into “listening”. Hopefully whilst listening to noisy opponents of changes (such as CAZ) he will bear in mind the needs of those who have little or no voice. Such as primary school children who suffer disproportional lung damage from polluted air. 2 years to deliver!
