We have today reached the magical 100,000 hits. Regardless of the naysayers such as Cr. Hyams (and others) we regard this as a fantastic achievement. Our first post went online on June 28th, 2010, thus in less than a year – and with a quiet Xmas and New Year period – we’ve managed to far outstrip all our expectations.
But we are admittedly quite greedy. We want more readers, more comments, more opinions and more news of what is happening out in your local streets and neighbourhoods. The simple truth is that Glen Eira Debates is fulfilling a function and our continued growth is evidence that whilst not everyone may agree with everything we say, the opportunity to say it, is what is important. Sp once again we ask that you spread the word. Let’s share information, share ideas, and together work towards a much more democratic and open Glen Eira Council.
Glen Eira Debates

Congratulations on such interesting comment on the poor administration of the area in which we are trying to live. Your reports save some of us from having to attend the very unpleasant, uncontrolled, bullying type council meetings where some councillors deliberately try to cause other councillors from talking. And guess what… the mayor also niggles, speaks about motions and at the end of it all has two votes as well as her personal reporter in the gallery who tries to hear what ratepayers are muttering to themselves in disgust. Attendance at council meetings is becoming necessary to keep matters in control but is not an enjoyable experience.
Thanks again to the reliabloe reporters.

Well done Glen Eira Debates
I don’t always agree with what is said on your site, but I do enjoy the debates.

Congratulations Glen Eira – not only have you reached the 100K mark (June 9 @ 4.23 pm) but you are now reaching a hit rate over 600 per day (June 11 3.40 – 101,202 hits). And the number of people posting is also growing.
Cr. Magee – I don’t always agree with what you say in Council, however, I do applaud you for acknowledging that this site is performing a useful function.
