False Hopes of Local Democracy

I notice that Brent Liberal Democrats are making specious promises around democracy and accountability.  I find these unconvincing, because Brent Liberal Democrats have a long history of failing to attend meetings, allowing councillors to carry on living outside the Borough, and failing to participate fully in meetings even when they are there.  The current Liberal Democrat leader was Council Leader for four years, and made no significant changes, why should we believe he will change now?
