I'll back Glenda with that. The person in question appears far more involved with what he perceives as his own personal domain that his councillorial role. He had the nerve to ask my lad to stop talking on the grass opposite his house because he is trying to grow wild flowers! - Didn't say it when we were all there, but hung back just to intimidate an 11 year old! Wouldn't have minded (so much) had he addressed all of us, and given a reasonable reason not to do so. Walking on grass, in a designated Country Park, who'd have thought it! He certainly did nothing to boost my opinion of him on that post-election day.

I would also happily agree to a 5% levy if the money already paid wasn't squandered on vanity projects. If we had less managers, less foolish CPOs then there would be more money for things that matter. I certainly didn't vote for this administration, but they should be accountable for what they want to do, against what they need to do, in line with real life priorities.

That'll be why The Lines are closed then.

Regulating what... Sounds like a scary move

Sorry to dredge up such an old threat, but this looks hopeful

At least we've been saved over the last year:Council Newsroom Didn't you notice...

That really is a rubbish result :-(

And we are paying even more for the priviledge. Council tax escalating whilst services plummet. Doesn't seem fair to anyone. Don't know what the long term solution is, but what we've got isn't working. Even the recycling is a feint nod compared to what other local authorities provide. Why shouldn't garden waste be acceptable? Or, for that matter, anything that can be reprocessed and reused FOR A PROFIT? - Feels like very short-sighted policy

For What it's worth you've got my vote, Glenda.
