Today is the start of the councillor induction programme. I understand the need for training to make sure we do things right. But 25 sessions feels a little excessive although some are optional.

It is better than last time, with returning councillors not having to attend some. However it doesn’t consider individuals. I was cabinet member for finance but I had to listen to a 2.5hr session on finance. Similarly, I spent over 30 years in IT but I have to attend a session on how to use outlook and office.

Let the fun begin….
