A visibly irritated Councillor Whisson emerged from City Hall at 2.40 on Tuesday, following the cancellation of a labour forum meeting due to a lack of quorum.
"This is the second meeting in succession to lack a quorum," he said. "Two weeks ago it was an important special meeting of ecomomic development and tourism to discuss the goat fiasco.
Today the directors were too busy tucking into their lunch after a mayoral committee meeting to put in an apology, let alone an appearance and half the ANC councillors simply did not pitch. If this is to be the way that the new mayor disciplines his troops, we can only expect the worst over the next two years."
Asked on his views on the Festival arrangements, Whisson commended the electricity and water sections for their efforts in avoiding outages, and officials for the speedy resolution of the Fiddlers Green issue. "The High Street chaos will have to be addressed, however with adequate twenty four hour lavatories and hosing down the streets each night."
