The thing is that the Mela is just one event that I'm involved in and it has a specific target market - young people, asian people and families from all cultures. For example, I'm working on the VE/VJ event which is targeted more at a different older audience.

One event can't be everything to everyone and people who complain about particular events probably won't complain about events that are targeted for them.

The only way to improve the Culture and Leisure in this area is to try to provide something for everyone but that doesn't mean the same thing for everyone. So, if you don't fancy coming to the Mela that's fine, but don't knock it simply because it's not to your taste. All, I can say is that there are people in this borough doing our best to provide a varied programme of events and activities, and we're doing our best but it's like wading through treacle sometimes.

We have very few resources and rely on funding to make some of these things happen. But if there is anything specific that you'd really like me to try and organise, then let me know and I'll see what I can do - let's be constructive here please.
