Due to the perilous nature of modern day politics, councillors and full time officials in the Borough have been forced to take out personal insurance in case they are sued, challenged at meetings, deselected, voted out or woken up during Cabinet meetings. Part of this exercise involved a medical declaration, revealing that some Councillors etc suffer from some extremely strange phobias:
COUNCILLOR IAN MALCOLM
ALLIUMPHOBIA – FEAR OF OPINIONS AND BELIEFS
DENTOPHOBIA – FEAR OF A DENTIST
BRENDA
CYBERPHOBIA – FEAR OF WORKING WITH COMPUTERS
LOGIZOMECANOPHOBIA – FEAR OF COMPUTERS
COUNCILLOR DAVID POTTS
SCOPOPOBIA – FEAR OF BEING SEEN
BRIAN T SCOTT, HEAD OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
EPISTEMOPHOBIA – FEAR OF KNOWLEDGE
LITICAPHOBIA – FEAR OF LAWSUITS
MYTHOPHOBIA – FEAR OF MYTHS, STORIES, FALSE STATEMENTS
THE ENTIRE LABOUR PARTY ROSTER OF COUNCILLORS
DECIDOPHOBIA – FEAR OF MAKING A DECISION
METATHESIOPHOBIA – FEAR OF SPEAKING
GLOSSOPHOBIA - FEAR OF SPEAKING IN PUBLIC
PHRONEMOPHBIA – FEAR OF THINKING
