Olympic Torch Relay

Strange that at a time when there are so many important issues to be addressed that the next meeting of Cornwall Council has to deal with a motion on the status of the Chairman.  As the motion merely restates what is already the agreed position it does beg the question as to whether the motion is a good use of councillors time. 

Also odd that the motion assumes that Cornwall Council will be represented at Lands End and RNAS Culdrose when, of course, the decisions as to who to invite will rest with the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games.  Some councillors seem to assume that Cornwall Council is so important that there is no question it will be invited to send representatives.

I was under the impression that it is bad manners to expect an invitation and to be pleased if one is received.
