Thanks for that... I think the thought that BAJR is somehow trying to take over or challange, is more of a reflection on others own fears, than what is either happening or possible. One thing I do note is the time lapse, slow motion responses... surely an elected member has been given a mandate by those that elect them to carry out actions on their behalf.. a mandate that means they stood for certain 'principals' and have been given the trust of the members to act for them, whatever appears... is that not democracy? I did fear that 4 times a year and volunteer time in between was never going to have a lasting effect.. And Old girl puts it exactly right...
The World does not stand still... if soemthing is happening right now, you can't really wait until the next meeting to discuss the potential of setting up a group to look into the longterm actions that can be placed before a working party that will report to the relevant bodies ..........etc There could/should be a process for instant action. If you see a car about to run over a pram, you don't call the police to tell them about it and ask them to send a car - as it might just be too late?
