WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR REMOVAL OF CPAC MEMBERS?

In a nutshell, there isn't one. Woolwich Council have been winging it both recently and three years ago. There have been lots of CPAC members not reappointed at the end of their terms of appointment and lots more who have resigned both mid term and at the end of their term. There have been some who through age and infirmity no longer could attend and even one who passed on. Yours truly however is still the only one booted off in mid term twice. Ironically Council have suggested that I can't follow process. This from a Council who make it up as they go along. Three years ago CPAC held a secret meeting in which I a voting member in good standing was not invited. Talk about breaking process and procedure! Then after a period of several months, Woolwich Council after thoroughly discussing the impasse read ultimatum of three CPAC members, decided to remove me from CPAC. The next Woolwich Council then unilaterally (ie. the Mayor) refused to reappoint any of the old CPAC. This new Council then without so much as a question to the new CPAC members, voted me off of CPAC after five minutes discussion amongst themselves. So much for cooperation and consultation with your own appointees to CPAC. Neither their pathetic Terms of Reference criticized here in the Advocate last week nor any other document can remotely justify Council's behaviour. Clearly the basic foundation of democracy which is the right to speak freely on matters of importance is foreign to our Council. Clearly they are incapable of permitting any deviation in opinion from that of their own uninformed ones. They believe that it's acceptable for their Staff and Mayor to speak disrespectfully to volunteer citizens while leaping upon any perceived slight to their own perfection. Shame on them.
