"A steering group made up of approximately 20 reps from the LGB communityand supported by local authority officers now meets regularly to oversee and direct the work that needs to be undertaken to develop the identified way forward."??
This is from a council document. This is supposed to be an open and democratic group working on YOUR behalf, making decisions that will affect how the council spends money again on your behalf. I just wondered if many people know about this group and or had ever heard about anything it has done on our behalf.

Only group I have heard of working with the council on a regular basis is in relation to future of Pride from 2007 (or 2008 or 2009 zzz) onwards.
Whilst they may have started with 20, they are down to a handful as all the council want to do is spend/waste money on finding ways to consult the lgbt community rather than assist those with enthusiasm and ideas in getting an event off the ground.

Seems clear that few people can be bothered about this. Its not trendy to get involved until decisions have been made, then we can sit around moaning.
