I've got plenty to tell about yesterday's council meeting which saw Cheshire East council pass it's very first budget and it's very first constitution.
It also resulted in Council Tax being frozen for Macclesfield residents - excellent news in these uncertain times.
However I'm putting all that aside to have a quick laugh at Barlow's latest moan in the 'express.
He berates the leader of our council, suggesting that he's never around. Strange that...considering that he's leading the biggest local government reorganisation this county has ever seen.
But this hides a bigger problem...and it's not with Councillors doing their job properly, it's with the press not doing theirs.
Wesley attends a lot of meetings. We all do, but Wesley more than most. So if Barlow wants to find Wesley I would suggest that they would be a good place to start. They are all open to the public (with very few exceptions) and most are very interesting.
How many members of the press were at the full council meeting yesterday? How many from the Macclesfield Express? Was Barlow there?
I'm sure you can guess the answers....
