The Thames Coromandel District Council meeting yesterday was an almost unprecedented failure of democracy. It is deeply disappointing that councillors, having failed to have their resolution passed, simply walked away rather than stay and discuss a way forward. I feel for the communities who have been waiting many years to get some finality on other issues, only to have them shelved for another six weeks until the next council meeting. I have not witnessed such an appalling lack of professionalism in my entire life, and as one bystander commented, in the thirty years they had been in local government they had never seen it either.
I sincerely hope that those who are fixed on one particular outcome can see the greater good for the benefit of the community and find a way to compromise on a way forward.
