March residents and councillors have fought for ‘years’ to get funding in place for ‘MATS’ –
The March Area Transport Study’ and in a moment of what-ever the unpredictable Dr Haq has derailed (maybe temporary) the final stage of getting that £7m.
He may have had his motive for Whittlesey – but has not in anyway understood the agenda item.
It is not the first time Dr Haq has made a somewhat blunder – he quite oftens speaks eloquently on a completely unrelated subject to what the agenda or anyone else maybe speaking about.
He and I had a somewhat disagreement over his plan for a ‘Flag Pole’ for Peel House (Council Offices) – He got quotes for some £4,000 (yes for a flag pole) – no mention of how it would be fixed or where services like gas or electricty maybe in the way.
After a few bouts in the ring with him, I eventually was tasked with the job, and the flag pole you see, fitted with a flag £250 –
not £4,000 that he wanted to spend your money on.
Recently Mr Steve Robertson, who regularly attends Councill meetings has asked Dr. Haq – what his role as ‘leader of the Council was’ – No reply or response.
He asked later what had the leader done during his time as leader – No reply or response.
Dr Haq is a strategic thinker – way above a Town/District Council leavel and has hopes may be becoming something much higher up in the political spectrum – ?
