I wonder how much of this goes on in council business?
I think I am just saying what quite a lot of the residents are thinking, but if this is not the case, then I am sure they will come along and put me straight.

If someone goes to a meeting and does not say they disagree with something and vote against it then by default they agree with it.
A lot of it will depend on who is making the application. I've withdrawn a successfully secured funding application loosing the Council almost £50,000 because we could not come to an agreement with the council over a lease.
