Arising from a few threads; bins, the bed settee, town centre regeneration etc, it struck me that this might be something worth a second look. London has an Elected Mayor in Ken Livingstone, and whether you approve of him or not he does appear to be getting things moving. I am sure that Tealeaf will want to add something here.

Perhaps an Elected Mayor is a way out of the small-minded "little" thinking that currently plagues HBC. I know that the project for "Elected Mayors" was once close to the heart of the Deputy Prime Minister, perhaps if we were to indicate our willingness to elect one, there might be a range of funding available that would not otherwise come our way.
Just a thought....

What do you think?
