the story is far too long and laborious suffice to say it involves a london borough council and the company i work for supposedly working toether to help set up a residents association. the person designated fromt he council is a housing officer and has no experience - i have been brought in half way through the process and have been to two meetings ( those of you who read may remember me asking your advice over whether i was being paranoid at minuteds of said meeting being unfair) anyway, i was asked to comment on the governance document proposed for the association and found that it was a fucking shower of shite. so i went through point by poitn and made suggestions - explaining whilst i went that this was not a document tying statuatory agencies into working with ressies assoc but that it was the GOVERNANCE doc.

anyway fuckwit fella from council said this to an area manager who is a spineless shit

......is custy or custycompany wish to come up with a model which would have involved the same amount of work as producing the e-mail below, then she is free herself to put forward and produce one. the comments below verge on nit picking ( does it really matter if it is a management or other committee?) .....it does actually.. A lot of what custy has written is legalesque pedantry
this may not have been your intention or custycompany intention but having experienced custys approach in meetings and now this i have to question whether her continuin involvement is going to be productive in this project. We need everyone signed up to the process

i think its in our interest to explicitly sign up to this initiative as a committment to joint working. it may not tie in with "model" constitutions but it is the reallity ont he ground.

thats it

right any way i can have the bastard for calling me a nit picking pedant and suggesting i get chucked off the project?

I've been lurking on your thread and I think you've been treated abysmally. Well done for sticking to your guns. I have SOME experience of working for local authorities, and concluded that generally one couldn't trust any of them to sit the right way on a donkey.....
