I was at District Council House in Lichfield tonight for my first Lichfield District Council meeting representing #Chasetown and #Burntwood.
I dug out my smartest outfit for the occasion.

I am told that I am the first Lichfield District Councillor to swear allegiance to a king rather than a queen.

Had my onboarding meeting as a new #councillor at Lichfield District Council. It's starting to feel real. I'm starting to get a feel for where I can make a difference and where I maybe didn't have a full grasp of how things work.
I've been offered a place on the Planning committee already. For many councillors, this is the short straw of committee work. But someone has to do it, and it has a direct impact on many constituents.

Globally we are in a state of #overshoot.

It involves #population and #consumption, yes. Also #PropertyDevelopment.

#Corporatism and #cronyism are diseases in the #Fiat (translated: #LetItBeSo) system.

When people really start turning up at #localGovt and start demanding change away from cronyism, only then can we say we have a #distribution problem, not before.

Its up to each of us to #LetItNotBeSo.
