 I will simply let these 2 emails I have received speak for themselves.

Dear Mr Green

Further to your recent email request to Mr Thomas to be sent a copy of the minutes of the last Council meeting, I write to advise that the draft minutes will be considered by Council at their next meeting on 13th January 2011.  At that meeting only councillors can consider their accuracy and agree whether to confirm them as a correct record.  A copy of these draft minutes will be appended to the Council agenda for the 13th January and these documents will be made available for public viewing on the Council's website by tomorrow lunchtime.

With regard to the possibility of you asking a question at the Council meeting, I would remind you that you have already been advised that you will not be able to do so in relation to Holly and Anne Greig.  Further, in light of this and also your attendance at the Council meeting on 9th December 2010 you will not be permitted to attend this forthcoming Council meeting.  Your disruptive behaviour at the last meeting not only affected the running of the Council meeting itself but also adversely impacted upon other members of the public present, particularly those who were addressing the Council at the point of your interruption.  Consequently you will be refused entrance into Council premises.

Yours sincerely
Claire Porter
Corporate Head of Legal and Democratic Services
(Monitoring Officer)
