Dear Councillor Andrew Eade,
 
May I offer you a most sincere thank you, a most sincere thank you for nothing.
 
During your Campaign of 2007 you made the following Headline and Confidence grabbing promises,
 
An Open and Honest Council that responds to the Community
 
You Said,
 
The Conservative Group will bring to an end a Labour Administration that has become tired, defensive, dictatorial and out of touch with the needs, and expectations of a community that it supposedly represents.
 
You said
 
We will open Council thinking and decision making to work hand in glove with the Community and ensure a transparent debate on key issues that affect us all at the present time and in the future. Social and Health Care, the level and type of Housing development across the Borough, the Town Centre and Town Park Developments, the Green Network and the City Regions.
 
You said
 
You would review the allowances paid to many Councillors
 
You Said
 
We will be open and honest , open and up front
 
You Said
 
Will be prepared to work with anyone or any organisation that has the best interests of the Borough at heart.
 
You said
 
You would allow residents a voice at Full Council
 
MP Mark Pritchard said he would push for Residents to have a voice and the ability to speak at planning meetings.
 
You said
 
This can be done, its simply a change in Constitution.
 
Out of the many promises you made, you kept one, that was the review of Councillors allowances, you then voted to have them increased by approximately £132,000.
 
I put it to you Councillor Andrew Eade, you made promises that you had no intention of keeping but chose to take every ounce of support you were offered, but had no intention of maintaining your pre election promises.
 
Why are YOU so opposed to residents being allowed to speak at Full Council?
 
Do you consider it to be Democratic that residents can be referred to covertly and by name, but not have the right to reply?
 
Do you have so little faith in your own decisions and policies that you will not allow residents a voice and the ability to speak and debate?
 
Who pays your allowances?
 
Who pays officers Salaries?
 
Who believed you?
 
Who voted for you?
 
The resident – the very people you are holding back from and not maintaining your promises to.
 
Kind Regards
 
John Franklyn

Are You happy that your views are being taken into account, if not, sign the Petition.

Totally agree Telford voted for change from the status quo, and the opportunity was there and totally wasted.

I become more cynical with every passing day and look forward to a politician local or government who actually does what he says. Mind you also look forward to seeing the seas parting, and have not got much chance of that either.

I've been following this story for months now but don't really understand politics. But yourself, George Ashcroft & Dennis Allen will be well supported I'm sure, because If not for the 3 of you I wouldn't have a clue about the frankley dodgey & shady dealings within the council. I've been saying for years, we need ORDINARY people looking after us not precious self centered people like eade & his minions, someone has already said "They don't even live in the borough!. For the first time in years I actually belive what a prospective counciller is saying, as opposed to ah another soundbite of BS. George is also bang on about quango's, they're very popular because it's money for nothing Eade & Bentley(apt name don't you think?)must think they're the untouchables, about time we(the people of telford)taught them a lesson eh!
