It is a valid comment on what they do.

In extended English, I presume she meant that Planners make decisions that have political ramifications. That is the sense I got from the broadcast. What she was broadcast as saying is subtly different.

Planners are meant to be apolitical, but politics dogs their steps as dung beetles follow cow pats.

Perhaps we should draft a letter here and all email a copy?

A search on RMBC website for a Borough Solicitor drew a blank. A google seach came up with Linda Fisher. The email address on the RMBC website for Linda Fisher is :


All a wee bit confusing but then again it's RMBC and I'm not surprise!
Linda Fisher's email address is linda.fisher@rochdale.gov.uk but emailing or writing to the borough solicitor will not achieve anything, there is no third party appeal against a planning committee approving an application. The complaint should instead be addressed to the Local Government Ombudsman (http://www.lgo.org.uk/) but be warned that even if the Ombudsman finds the council acted wrongly, the Ombudsman has no power to alter the decision!

Understandable fallout from @BBC #planners. Very badly chaired meeting. Brought embarrassment for Rochdale. Complaints been made for months.

Smile Not forgetting, of course, the bonus of Cllr Neil Emmott's contributions, as the Senior Case Worker employed by Simon Dancuzk at his Rochdale Office.

I doubt the planning officer Rebecca Coley will get in trouble for her comments in such a televised public arena.

If the Chief Exec is still responsible for the training of Councillors, several members and the Office Bearers on this Planning Committee could be promptly withdrawn for 'various' training purposes, and their decision called in.

No, applauding the springing of a successful trap.

Considering the issues with Farouk Ahmed last year, the fallout seems guaranteed to rid him of some troublesome opposition in the local party.

Well nearly 600 people have since been driven to some action!

I don't Facebook, so can't expand. Sadly though the news feature looks to also contain an untruth-spin from the Chair about the meeting's Agenda, compounding the whole charade.

Trinity Mirror http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/local-news/call-planning-chief-quit-after-1330664


: - The chairman of Rochdale's planning committee has been urged to step-down following a TV documentary


Exclamation A Facebook group has been set up in response to the programme entitled 'Rochdale disgrace, lets do something about it'. The group, which has attracted nearly 600 members, says 'it showed the rest of the UK what a disgraceful way in which our council meetings have been conducted, and the blatant disregard for procedures and professional advice given at the said meeting'.

Councillor Zamaan moved the formal proposal to allow the application.

It was seconded by Cllr Begum.

Traditionally Chairs like to exhibit a lack of bias by neither proposing or seconding motions although they do get a vote. They also get the casting vote in the event of a tie where a wise Chairman will vote in a way that goes with established precedent if there is one.

These are things one learns from experience if one is given the opportunity to acquire any before being appointed to just about the toughest and most contentious sub-committee on the council.

RMBC website lists the following members on the Rochdale Township Planning Committee:-

•Councillor Iftikhar Ahmed
•Councillor Shakil Ahmed (Substitute)
•Councillor Farooq Ahmed (Substitute)
•Councillor Shefali Begum (Chair)
•Councillor Cecile Biant (Substitute)
•Councillor Karen Danczuk
•Councillor Ian Duckworth (Substitute)
•Councillor Wera Hobhouse
•Councillor Andrew Neilson
•Councillor Shaun O'Neill
•Councillor Billy Sheerin
•Councillor Patricia Sullivan (Substitute)
•Councillor Shah Wazir
•Councillor Mohammed Zaman (Vice-Chair)

I spotted Shah Wazir & Cllrs O'Neil, Sheerin, Hobhouse, Begum & Zaman in the clip.

Welcome back misst, yes, this farce has evoked a lot of anger in a lot of people and rightly so. Let's hope our rantings are heard in the right places and that something positive comes out of it. Mad

Here's one! Thanks to everyone that's supporting the campaign, we need to keep the flame burning, encourage the debate and share, share, share! Rochdale has over 200k residents, although I know we can't reach them all, I'm sure we can make a bigger dent than we have thus far and keep this topic alive.
