There are several reasons why many people take no notice of the opportunity to meet their local county councillors:
 
* Apathy.  Many people can't be bothered to get involved in local issues unless it directly affects them ... in which case many just get on the phone and talk about it with council staff .... who are there to deal with sorting day-to-day issues anyway.
 
* Ignorance. Many people don't know who their councillors are and what they can do for you.
 
* At work or too busy anyway during the day when the county councillors were in the libraries.
 
* They realise that most local issues are handled by their local district councillors anyway (this is true - we deal with everything that comes our way, especially if we are on the town council as the town council can very effectively lobby the county council to do things).
 
 
I've thought about holding a "surgery" where people can meet me to ask about issues and see if I can help .... but I decided that as I am always snowed under anyway, there is no point. If people want my help, they tend to ring up, send a letter or email me.

You are in no position to judge as you don't see what I do.
 
You clearly have very little knowledge of what goes on and which local councillors are highly active in the issues that really matter to most people.

Please Baldy you hurting my stomach with laughing. The only thing your highly active doing is sitting on this forum correcting and abusing others in this forum. PMSL. I don't know about opening a surgery i would suggest you go visit one.

Yes that old boy you keep having a pop at in Fell Road asked you for help getting a lam post fixed. Your response was that it was nothing to do with you. He also asked for your help in getting something done about the mess from Tesco. What was your reply. You told him if he didn't like it he was welcome to move! All he wanted was a bit of help in keeping the area clean and tidy for all.

This is rubbish.
 
I have never had any proper approach from David Tilley about anything.
 
The man is obsessed with ranting on with all sorts of nonsense, lies, distortions and hostile abuse.
 
His hostile postings in websites have sometimes mentioned things that need to be done (in his opinion) and I have offered advice about the relevant circumstances and how to get things done.
 
All he does is hurl abuse and post nonsense in web forums all day.

Well Councillor Hawker. I have just ran a search on Wiltshire Times site which I assume is the site you mention and I can't find a singlepost from this bloke you seem to have a fixation with. Can you repeat his name and make sure it is spelt properly so I can check again.

He uses false IDs such as "Disgusted".
 
I am only replying to posts that mention him. I do not go around bringing him up. He is not significant to me.
 
I am not here as a councillor, and I prefer you not to address me as such here.

[dawney]

YUP! We ALL know what our councillors can do for us.  And we know what some of them do all day - sit on here and have petty arguments with the people who should be voting for them were they worth  it. HAHA

You are a tedious one aren't you Councillor baldy? 'Not here as a councillor' indeed.

I've thought about holding a "surgery" where people can meet me to ask about issues and see if I can help .... but I decided that as I am always snowed under anyway, there is no point. If people want my help, they tend to ring up, send a letter or email me.
