Hello left hand, say hello to the right hand ...

Apparently, newly elected River Ward Councillor David Craggs needn't have resigned! From being advised he can do both, to being advised he can't, it's now been established that he could have! See this for the ins and outs:

Now wouldn't it be nice, in the interests of commons sense, saving time, resources and in particular, the taxpayers' money, that everyone agrees to forget the resignation and just run with it as per the original result?

Like that's ever going to happen. Someone, somewhere now has some boxes they need to tick and decorate with red tape...
