That's two mistakes in two days Seanie. Are you happy being a lowly Community Councillor, you could be officer material


There are 43 Community Councils in Edinburgh. I chose one at random and here's their website

A place for Porty to get to. It is quite easy to see who wants Email contact and who doesn't.

Why would someone who is prepared to put themselves forward for public office and who has Email not want to be contacted by their public?

[wangi]

I fail to grasp what the problem is. Isn't it good for community councillors to get representation from the people they are meant to represent?

Not sure I buy your rational seanie - if you were the root cause as it were then you'd be getting the emails too (as the sender). More likely somebody looking at planning related documents on citydev-portal.edinburgh.gov.uk and/or cpol.edinburgh.gov.uk; whatever source Porty is referring to; mis-sent emails (Cc rather than Bcc) from Councillors & M(S)Ps...

As Wangi says as a member of a Community Council you must surely be contactable by the community that you serve?

Not everyone can come along to the PCC meetings so have no other way of communicating with their community council.

Oh dear, looks like I've started a stooshie

I've been in touch with the pcc asking them to make my opinions known at the next meeting.One person asked who 'furnished' me with their email address, and I declined to supply the name of the accused.I explained the person ( who I dont actually know) would prefer to keep anonymous.

I also suggested that pcc members emails should be readily available, as a suggestion I put forward the library as a source.

And to be totally transparent, I used my email albertkidd@###, not my real name, and one which might raise the hackles of any pcc or talkporty jambos, which is why I've never used that name here...I did register the name a couple of days ago incase pcc members felt there should be consistency.I also gave my home address as requested.

Anyway, as I said on the email, I have no set agenda against the pcc or for any clique that may or may not be prevelent on talkporty, I'd jsut like my local reps to represent my pov.

Apologies if I've caused anyone undue hastle.

What about the ones who don't want to be identified or contacted in any way? Wouldn't they be better going the whole hog and wearing some sort of disguise? White cloaks with pointy hats perhaps?
