"Cllr Hillan said her announcement today was a direct result of her 'listening' to colleagues and residents. She did not mention Cllr Shooter's leadership challenge."
The Barnet Bugle blog has a lot more on London Daily News, and their unfriendly dealings with the Salingers - you know, the Barnet Tories that DIDN'T back Lynne Hillan's senior cabinet mebmers' allowances rise.
The Bugle is story is very interesting indeed, isn't it? Funny how the need has arisen to muckrake rather than convince people by debate and open discussion ...
"A BARNET councillor has vowed to continue with his bid to become leader of the council even though the incumbent, Lynne Hillan, has backtracked on a controversial plan to increase members' allowances.
"This model has a sound theoretical basis... [sic] However it is unproven at this scale." Future Shape cabinet report, 3 December 2008
"Nobody has said this is going to be easy, it's a work in progress, some of it will never see the light of day." Barnet council leader Mike Freer, 16 November 2009
"I do not believe Soviet bureaucratic initiatives like One Public Sector, Labour’s Total Place (and Barnet’s Future Shape / Easy Council) ideas are... the way forward."Barnet councillor Mark Shooter, 4 September 2010
“There are... many examples of long-term partnerships where the commitment and enthusiasm of the provider has waned over the duration of the contract. Major... organisations will generally resource extensively during the first year, or two, of a new contract but this level of resourcing diminishes as the contract moves to a more stable business as usual position.”One Barnet Procurement Principles, 1 March 2011
"...there can be little confidence that Barnet has the capability, and perhaps more worryingly the culture, necessary to meet the challenge posed by the letting and management of contracts that, under the One Barnet plan, will be far bigger than anything the Council has previously dealt with." 'London Borough of Barnet: Procurement and Contract Management', Association for Public Service Excellence, March 2012

People of the year 2010: John Burgess and Maggi Myland
Almost a couple, because they spend so much time together! Two of Barnet council Unison branch's most dedicated servants (along with Helen Davies but she's probably well enough known!). These people have personal lives as well, and give up a lot to take on the lazy might of Barnet council under the Tories. The picture is of Maggi working the crowd at Barnet Christmas fair.
Man of the year 2009: David Young
Implacable opponent of Barnet council's plan to axe the sheltered housing wardens

The 'London Daily News' seems to be the most bizarre blog I have seen.
Absolutely potty!

On the Barnet Bugle, the video about the London Daily News "ace reporter" has been "Removed by the User".
That's what happens when you give someone the 'oxygen of publicity'!
