Is this the return of the Tebbutt ??

What a surprise we all got this week, when the leader of the Council, Michael White announced that the Chief Executive was to leave at the end of March 2007, he had even managed to keep it a secret from the whole Tory group, including his Cabinet and his Deputy Leader, so much for working as a team.

Now the interesting fact in this story is around the amount of time that a Councillor who loses his seat has to wait until he can seek employment at the same Council, its six months actully.

We have all been waiting for Tebbutt to role on up into a ward near you and stand in a by-election after some poor sod has been persuaded that they should stand down due to a new job at work, or they are not feeling to well, you get the picture.

But maybe, we have all been wrong, maybe the big plan was for Tebbutt to return, not as a Councillor, but as the new Chief Executive !!. We all know that the Leader and Tebbutt are joined at the hip, we all know that the Leader can not make a decission without the big man's say so. It all makes sense now it will be like having Laural and Hardy running the Borough. (again)

You can see it now. "No, no, no, Michael, not like that, you dont want to do it like that, you want to do it like this" he says with his head in his hands.

Now, where did i leave those Boulders ?
