Attended my first scrutiny meeting in Wallasey tonight.

It was an interesting experience. Councillors asked lots of relevant and constructive questions. It felt how scrutiny should work.

A member of the public who apparently attends all the council meetings, videoed the whole meeting on a smart phone attached to a tripod. Democracy in action, but slightly strange.

My slot finished with a vote of thanks from the Councillors for the efforts the IT function put in over the last week to keep services running. 

End of a good day….
