Oh it was nothing, just an experiment to add a bit of interest to an otherwise gloomy day. But I do think that it does go some way to illuminate the point that I have been trying to make over the last few months; namely that HBC and it's officers are bereft of imagination. Creativity comes from the soul, a committee does not have a soul and thus cannot be creative. They are quite useful in finding ways to implement plans, once created, but "driving force" and "committee" are contradictions in terms.

Management by committee, as any entrepreneur knows, means commercial death.

As long as HBC believe that the solution to the town's problems lie in any plan or initiative developed by a committee, no matter how well intentioned, they are bound to fail. The town needs a creative maverick, who will impose his or her creative will upon the council. Sadly though, the system is set up to stifle creativity in a welter of committee generated rules, regulations and protocols. Creativity depends on having the courage to either ignore or break those rules.

Many thanks for your positive comments chaps! I may have a look at other grot spots and eyesores when I get a couple of minutes spare.
