I'VE been meaning to give a special mention to West Lancs District Council chief executive Bill Taylor's blog for ages.
Actually, it's not just a blog but a video blog and over the last few months, he's talked about many things; crime and punishment, the press, council performance and much more.
The best was a few months ago when he commented on the amount of gobbledegook which officials come out with. As a journalist, I see this day in day out, real Sir Humphrey type stuff so thought it was a cracking piece.
Even though the post of chief exec in any council is quite restrictive in the sense that you've got to be very politically sensitive, Bill manages to make it a very worthwhile service and quite topical.
It's just a shame there isn't a larger presence on the net when it comes to West Lancs political debate.
At the moment we only have Bill's blog, councillors Adrian Owens' website, Cllr Steve Hanlon's blog and Rosie Cooper's site.
I reckon it's about time for some more. Afterall, I can think of quite a few councillors (naming no names) who aren't short of a word or two.
