I was at the meeting and all I heard was applause and people saying how something like this was needed.

You went to a meeting & all you heard was applause? Get yourself to the circus the sea-lions are trained to clap as well but at least they know they get some fish at the end of it!
I heard lots of people saying how it had really opened their eyes to the scheme and depending on the actual finished design they were in favour of it.

Lots of people would say I'm in favour depending on the ACTUAL finish of the design, thats like saying,
" I'm all for change so long as it's the same because I'm not sure what the difference is!"
It's all right mouthing off on a site like this when no one knows who's who but you should have had your voice heard.

We unlike you, have been communicating on this site for almost two years, we don't always (or should that be often), agree on every topic that is put forward on the site but we have if you would care to take a look at past threads on this topic given it a very thorough debate. o.k. so for once in your life you got off your backside & went to a meeting, if you ever bother to go to another why not stand up and ask any accywebbers here? You might just be surprised by the response you get.

It obviously wasn't a fait accompli or they wouldn't have listened to the people in Ribble Valley.

Gosh! French, in a quote on accy web! Bob & Doug don't ever try to compete with this one your latin just won't be up to it.
