The very fact that they could be open to review, would be enough to make them think again, when it's clear that the public are not happy, as in the tree saga. I'm sure it would be very rare that a politician would carry on and go through the whole exercise to remove them when pulled for review. Start a petition on the government petition site? With enough signatories the government would have to look into it. A vote of no-confidence can then be motioned I believe.

Hmmm... I've just checked the CV that we've recently received from the only suitable applicant for the job. It appears that 'arborist' is NOT one of their many job titles... ... so fortunately, we might be spared yet another condescending lecture! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing seems to have change so much for lesson learned The council was also found out trying to 'mislead' the court and the public in an earlier tree felling review. That alone should have seen heads roll. An apology to the people of Sheffield is not enough. There is no personal responsibility, therefore lessons will not be learned, things will continue as before. This is why SCC continues to be so inept Until there are actual persons held to account and sacked, the Council will continue to blunder happily along, treating the people of Sheffield with utter contempt.

Sorry to re-ignite this, but no-one has really commented on the independent inquiry into the tree-felling debacle, and for some reason, the topic referring to the internal censure of Mazher Iqbal has somehow mysteriously disappeared from the forum Unless I missed it when searching) - interesting .
