Letter: Councils Unable To Understand The Issues

Braintree and Witham Times, Essex

Wednesday 01 Oct 2003

IT comes as no surprise that Braintree Council has refused a debate on the
legalisation of cannabis and associated issues as requested by Don Barnard
and backed by Councillor James Abbott (Times September 18).

Most councils, I feel would do the same. This is because they do not know
the issues involved and are unable to argue in favour of continuing
prohibition.

They prefer to pass the buck to Westminster.

But I was interested to read the comments of Graham Butland, executive
councillor for health and community, who said: 'There are already forums
where the issues could be raised and the council is only expected to debate
issues where it can help."

Where are these forums? We don't seem able to find them!
