Our Democratic Rights

Folks it is time to exercise our rights.

For example = withholding access to the Minutes of Parish Council Meetings is against the law. They must be stored for perpetuity and the public have a right to request access.

People Power - we need to use the

Freedom of Information Act 2000

and the

Data Protection Act 1998

Time to check whether justice and democracy are being upheld in our own backyards. We can stop the rot - but we need to start close to home.

Too many local politicians are too complacent - enjoying their power/expenses but not worrying about their constituents.

Don't sit back and just grumble if something seems amiss - research the truth and do something about your findings.

This quote on the above site seems so apt:

"Elections are decided by the votes of the uneducated many for the corrupt few."
