As a member of the public I would normally have attended a North Lincolnshire Council extraordinary meeting to witness the debated agenda as in the case of The Lilacs and Scotter House.  However after long thought and after previously openly questioning the Labour Group’s reasoning for their non-attendance I considered it a waste of time to do so. My reasoning for my decision was:

I had no wish to witness another public expense Rob Waltham self-promotion roadshow.

Without credible opposition challenge to the items on the agenda, there was no debate to be had.

Information I became aware of gave me a better understanding of the Labour Group’s reasoning behind the stance they chose to take.

Any vote taken on the Agenda items that I would have witnessed had I have been there,  would have resulted in a worthless bias result in favour of Rob Waltham’s dictated course of action in all matters relating to his Conservative endorsed cabinet position and the areas relating to it.  I.E: The Lilacs and Scotter House on this occasion.

I had no wish to witness the implementation of an unjustifiable unwarranted course of action that is being ratified at the behest of an individual who is plainly of the view that this type of support and its value is worthless.  This is proven by Councillor Waltham’s electoral efforts in leading the way in promoting the Conservative Group’s priority to “Close Children’s Homes and invest in Foster carers” on electoral literature he sanctioned.
