To be fair - officers DO NOT make policy - that is down to elected councillors. I well remember Mark Frost advising councillors at the Isleworth and Brentford Area Forum of the results of the consultation re closing Church St., which was overwhelmingly against closure, but members led by Ed Mayne voted to do it anyway. I do think some of our councillors could be a bit more diligent and pro-active and listen more to their constituents rather than officers, but that is down to them.
