Appalling attitude. We need to send a strong message as to what is acceptable of a person in a position of standing in our community.

When Councillors stand to represent a community and then make statements telling that community that they will not 'get favours' from councillors by writing to the papers, it certainly says a lot about the character of that person. We do not want favours Mrs Baker, we want respect, openness and honesty. Both are now non existent within North Somerset Council. Shameful behaviour by someone who shows no respect to the standards expected of her.

Shocking to watch this executive member of North Somerset Council mouthing obscenities in the council chamber. If council employees acted that way towards Cllr Baker, staff or the public they would be disciplined accordingly and possibly sacked. It is time for this bullish behaviour from councillors to stop.

The descent into offensive name-calling by a councillor is beyond normal politics. She must pay for her arrogance by resigning.

Having viewed the video evidence, it is clear Felicity Baker has disregard for councillors who hold an opposing view to herself. But I am signing this petition for her discourteous and rude behaviour which is a breach of her Code of Conduct. Similar inappropriate behaviour was witnessed over the skatepark in Portishead where Ms Baker progressed a political agenda instead of representing the electorate. Look up her involvement over the Gordano School site with David Pasley for more information. For that reason I also sign this petition. Ms Baker has also failed to disclose her prejudicial interest in her residence in Portishead, choosing only to declare her Ham Green property. She seems unaccountable. For that reason I also sign this petition. Ms Baker also voted to approve the landfill and planning changes at Portishead Golf Course and it took two local residents to highlight the flaws in the proposal when Ms Baker remained silent. For that reason I also sign this petition. It is also the reason I refer to her as Ms Baker rather than Cllr. A councillor represents the electorate.

Terrible behaviour if a NS employee were to use such language in front of their service users they would be facing the capability process.

Disgraceful , rude behaviour towards other councillors, in full view of members of the public. Her attitude discredits the Council.

Absolutely disgusting behaviour from a member elected by the public she seems to hold in disdain. And not the first such incident.

I attended this meeting and saw at first hand the way Counvillor Baker responded to the speeches of her fellow Councillors.
I was very disappointed to have to observe such arrogant behaviour, displayed in full view is several members of the public.
