If you read what I wrote carefully, I said that everyones views are of course important. I deliberately made no mention of the fact that ex-pats wouldn't be having to pay for the rebranding of the council, at some considerable cost, and therefore wouldn't be affected by the inevitable cuts in services.
My only interest in having a public poll was for research purposes. If a massive majority was in favour of the change, but if that majority weren't funding it because they didn't live here, then that is an important point. A point I would use to voice my oposition to this financally wasteful gimick.
By the way Cyfr, Peter's twenty grand will only buy four road signs, the other twenty or so will be extra.
