Mayor and City Council’s consultations do not cater for regular working folks

Apr 16, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
I have noted several advertisements put out by the M&CC regarding public consultations in relation to the garbage situation. While it is good for the M&CC to do these consultations, I noticed that the consultations are scheduled for 10 am on the dates and also they are at City Hall. I tried to get to one of the consultations for an area next to mine (my area was not included in the consultation list by the way), however, I had a work meeting clash that I could not get away from. This is my point. How serious can M&CC be about talking with citizens if they put the meetings at a time that most cannot attend? Why not hold meetings after work hours or on weekends. Also why not have teams or the councillor representative for areas have meetings within the areas so you ensure a proper engagement. I hope that this can be considered by the council especially for engagements on other issues, especially those that are directly community related, in the future.
Dr. Raquel Thomas-Caesar
