I thought the whole idea of a Party having a majority on a council was that it could then do all the things it had promised for the benefit of the people who had voted it in? And make new plans for the future.
If, even with a majority for a 13 year stretch, no one can decide to do anything about anything what's the point? That even a majority party can't reach a consensus with its own ranks?
Management is about making good decisions and getting on with them. Preferably popular decisions but primarily good ones
A council is management. Its primary duty is to manage for the benefit of its public. The interests of 'retailers and interested parties', while useful, come second to that.
So what are you saying, Graham. That all we have is ' if only' and the town will continue to decline? Chernobyl but without the radiation?
It's not good enough!
