4 July (Part 5) - Democracy at work
Not
in Bexley obviously but in far away Bideford.
A reader from way down west has taken this photograph of his local news paper.
Following on from Eric Pickles’ announcement their photographer waltzed into
North Devon’s Council Chamber on Tuesday 2nd July and set up his tripod.
Council leader Brian Greenslade praised the Journal “for making the most of the
new law”. He said: “The fact the Journal are doing this is a step in the right
direction so people who don’t have time to come and sit in and hear their
business being discussed can click on to the internet and watch.” And be bored
to death presumably, but that is not the point.
The North Devon Journal’s web page
gives the full story and allows you to view the video.
