I am thoroughly frustrated with the habit of some officers of ignoring Councillor’s emails even when they are reminded . I have just had to take an advice case up to the Acting Chief Executive to get a response from the education department on an extremely sad special needs case. It is not rocket science to set the computer as I have  so you can see emails are being read but not answered, which is what was happening. If the answer is too complex for an email they have our phone numbers.

On the subject of phones would anyone like to recommend a simple cameraphone (i.e.not a smart phone) with black, easy to read keys?
