Well well well.  The hyper-active and high-profile Steering Group has a new chair.

It’s someone called Gavin Elliot.

How do we know?  Not from the website (one blog post in the last seven months, and that full of demonstrably false claims).  Not from simple replies to straightforward questions put (repeatedly) to Manchester City Council.

Nope, via the wonders of … twitter.

It seems they are having a meeting now – on energy – (behind closed doors, no minutes to be circulated – of course. That’s how “stakeholder” “participation” is DONE in this city.)

And they’re wondering “how do you fund a voluntary and unconstituted body like ours? Probably through partnerships with other organisations.”

Gosh, maybe that’s something they could have, you know, sorted out at any point in the last three years or so??

MCFly, will, of course, seek an interview with the new chair.  We’re masochists that way…
