As you may gather, I'm no fan of such occasions. But as I was co-presenting the Lib Dem administration's budget, I had little choice but to endure the whole seven hours from start to finish.
- You can read my speech proposing the Lib Dem administration's budget here.
- You can read all about Labour and the Greens' decision to ramp-up park-and-ride charges here.
- And you can read all about the deal the Lib Dems and Greens eventually struck here - including meeting the Lib Dem pledge to keep Council Tax down.

You don't seem to enjoy Council meetings; this isn't the first time you've complained.
Have you ever wondered whether you're in the right job?
anonymous, if you thik being a cllr is only about full council meetings (usually once every 6 weeks at most) then you have a very narrow definition of what being a cllr is about.
Anon - being a councillor is probably the most enjoyable job I have ever done. Attending Full Council is probably the least rewarding thing I do. There's no conflict between these two views.
Maybe if there weren't any councillors who enjoyed full council meetings then the whole thing would be over in a lot less than seven hours.
I'm an academic, and I know the hell of being stuck in a meeting with someone who likes the sound of their own voice.
