Dr Stephen Johnson moves on. Personally I think that, given other individuals involved, he did a difficult job well. 

[JennyMorgan]

No comments here but amongst the Rhond Folk there is a cautious optimism which bodes well for the future.  

[JawsOrca]

Surely any change is a good thing Peter? as long as they have some idea of what the job entails and/or common sense to make informed sensible decisions.  I'm sure as you also agree it makes no different what type of human they are, he / shes, indigo colour skin, pink/purple etc. As long they do a bloody good job

 

Good luck to them

Somebody is undoubtedly bringing the Authority into disrepute, and should be stopped!

[Timbo]

You can feel the feathers being ruffled at the UEA Broads Authority from here!

[JennyMorgan]

Poppy, just can't imagine who that might be! Okay, so I can and I suspect others can too. What surprises me is that Dr Johnson has commented as he has, I really did think that on such a topic he'd quietly withdraw. 

[JennyMorgan]

A very fishy tale from a very brave pike!

It can't be true, can it?

[Paladin]

That fish needs to be careful. Pike gags are available, very cheaply, on Ebay 

[Poppy]

Rumours abound that the Broads Authority are now about to call for a cull of ALL pike residing in the Broads National Park  

 

DON'T PANIC

[BroadScot]

This all sounds a bit fishy to me!  Well somebody had to say it!

All it takes is a good dose of PP!

 

Pike gags, arghhhh, barbaric things, should be banned! 

[Paul]

I read in eddie's post, That dr Johnson states ...

 

 

"We have no democratic mandate from the public, so we are not required to be accountable"

 

A staggering attitude for anyone in a position of authority in a public body.

[JennyMorgan]

As from next year approx 70% of Broads Authority income will be from tolls. Will approx 70% of BA activity be tolls/navigation related? What will the toll payer be able to do if it's not? Diddley Squat, Sweet Fanny Adams, San Fairy Ann, we don't have a vote, they are not required to be accountable.
