I think this is the huge flaw with British politics from local level through to national level - no one is prepared to credit another person if they're on the 'other side'. If Britcliffe managed to sort out the blue and white facade on the old building I'd be as happy as Garinda would be. I'm not going to start campaigning to keep it, of course, it's ugly and needs sorting out.

We have to be prepared to give credit where credit is due. Of course, they've had quite a few years in which to do this highly visible vote winner so one has to question their motives for doing it in the last few months before an election! But hey, if it gets done now that's one less eyesore for the Labour party to sort out when they get in!
