Freedom for Waggott

Paul WaggottFormer Council Leader to be honoured

Mr. Paul Waggott is to be honoured by having the Freedom of the Borough bestowed upon him at an Extraordinary Meeting of South Tyneside Council next Thursday. Waggott soundly beaten by Independent Geraldine White at the May elections in Fellgate and Hedworth is to be recognised for his “achievements” in leading the Council over the past ten years.

There I was thinking that the nice little fella was always no more than a titular figure head, there to entertain everyone , whilst the vision, leadership, ambition, and planning were carried out by his Deputy Leader Iain Malcolm. Perhaps I got the wrong impression!

Suppose the motion doesn’t get a two thirds majority – then what? (Would anyone be wild enough to oppose the motion?)

[...] That said, The Monkey reckons Curly and ’Papa John’ Szymanski at the Gazette have benefited from the presence of The Monkey too. Although The Monkey has scooped them both on a regular basis at least they have been able to recycle The Monkey’s exclusives that would have otherwise been missed, click here, and here.
