But announcing the decision, UK constitution minister Chloe Smith said: 'Democracy should not be cancelled because of covid'." Jonathan Walker on 'BusinessLive' on 5 Feb 2021
Democracy is far, far too important for Covid to stop the election of our Metro Mayor who has no official powers and is solely the mouthpiece of seven district council leaders and Cabinets who rubber-stamp decisions by senior officers who, in the case of the £15 billion mainly Metro underground and overground tram extensions, are influenced by the national tram lobbying group that shares its HQ with the Mayor!!
"Democracy should not be cancelled because of covid. More than ever, local people need their say", said UK constitution minister Chloe Smith
We have our say by writing and phoning officers and members of councils.
