Gayle, if you really believe that what you're doing is right then stand up for it! Good for you. You obviously have the backing of the council so you're not alone.
BUT! Not many threads have generated as many posts as this one and virtually all have been hostile. It may be that most of them are from 'Grumpy Old Men' (and 'Women') with little or no response from the younger generations but they are the ones who have been paying Taxes all their lives!
So go on the attack! Ask these Miserable old Devils( I include myself in that group) what THEY want and if they got it would they join in?
Also ASK the younger folks what THEY want, don't present these events as a 'fait accompli'.Surely one of the most important parts of your job should be involving the town in the decision making as well as the presentation?
