She's not a big fan of asking the constituents. Refused to hold a referendum over Cov joining the West Midlands Combined Authority.

Na, think it’s longevity of service or something like that. That’s another thing I don’t understand-people have surely been voting her in for however long she has been a councillor-over 20 years is it? Must have done some good somewhere to get the same gig again and again for that amount of time?Don’t u get to vote for your mayor. How can u make a petition against one?
Not necessarily, she's a Labour councillor in Coventry. People in Coventry don't read manifestos, they just vote Labour, no questions asked. If you pinned a red rosette on a broken hat stand most people would still vote for it.Na, think it’s longevity of service or something like that.

I would suggest with very low turnout in local elections most people just vote by party. Doubt there's many people in the city who could reel off the names of their three councillors.Na, think it’s longevity of service or something like that.

I believe it's a ceremonial post which they give to the longest serving counciller, current incumbant is actually a Tory.Na, think it’s longevity of service or something like that.

I'd prefer a broken hat standI believe it's a ceremonial post which they give to the longest serving counciller, current incumbant is actually a Tory.
As for this reflecting on her record thats nonsense they'd vote for a donkey with a red rosette in the ward she repesents.
I must've missed the 250,000 people turning up for the ice hockey team's victory parade.
Who the hell owns a hat stand these days? And before you answer the Queen and Boy George (two separate people) are exempt,I'd prefer a broken hat stand
And even less support w***s so why are they bending over backwards to help/support them? They're not even from this city. At least CCFC are!Why does that matter? Doesn't explain why helping CCFC should be an 'obligation' of the council. Their obligation is to the residents of Coventry and large numbers of them don't support CCFC, or even like football.
She had some girl due to bring some over from Syria but some bastard stopped her...:angelic:She must be running out of duty free fags, so with the freebie trips she will get with this gig be able to stock up
Cash, cash and more cash chucked in with some corporate sponsorshipAnd even less support w***s so why are they bending over backwards to help/support them? They're not even from this city. At least CCFC are!

And there lies the problem then-that is very blinkered. “I’ve voted Labour all my life and will continue to do so whatever their policies and their manifesto are” . :banhappy:Not necessarily, she's a Labour councillor in Coventry.

My Father-in-law is a prime example of it. Always moaned about Lucas and the sale of the Ricoh, all the councillors that voted in favour, the WMCA. He moans about it all. But ask him who he voted for...... "Same party I've always voted for my whole life!!"

Or even like Rugby, and probably 0.1% are legit wasps fans. It's a sporting stadium that should be home to Coventry teams.Why does that matter? Doesn't explain why helping CCFC should be an 'obligation' of the council. Their obligation is to the residents of Coventry and large numbers of them don't support CCFC, or even like football.
Which is exactly why the council should be doing everything it can to ensure the club stays in business and stays in Coventry. Stop thinking of it as a football club and think of it as a business that employs local people, generates millions for the local economy and is one of the most high profile things nationally and internationally we have in the city.Their obligation is to the residents of Coventry
Don’t u get to vote for your mayor. How can u make a petition against one?
I kid you not, I can't find a link on the Council website to this page unless I go through the search section.
Petitions for Elected Mayoral referendums | Referendums | Coventry City Council
Apparently you need 11,514 signatures to force a referendum.
An elected Mayor (a new post) is completely different to the (ceremonial) Lord Mayor.I kid you not, I can't find a link on the Council website to this page unless I go through the search section.

So your saying we couldn't petition against Lucas getting the gig because she's not elected?An elected Mayor (a new post) is completely different to the (ceremonial) Lord Mayor.
Besides its been superseded by having an elected West Midlands Mayor.

Attempt to bring an elected Mayor to Coventry failed 7 years ago, 63% no.You can have both posts. One doesn't get in the way of the other. And at least one post could be created by the will of the Coventry Public.
It's amazing how you need a referendum for the setting up of a Coventry Mayor but you can ignore the same publics will when setting one up with the creation of the WMCA and a future Mayor.
The full council votes on the post, not the electorate.So your saying we couldn't petition against Lucas getting the gig because she's not elected?
Or are you just pointing out the difference between somebody elected and somebody standing on ceremony?
Either way I think a petition should be started. The woman doesn't deserve this role. She's a joker who (in my te at least) has screwed this proud city over numerous times.
