I repeat, they seemed quite happy to air their views when they were in opposition. If they're now witholding their opinions because of fear of criticism, they really shouldn't be in politics.
Let's not forget what this particular thread is all about - the removal of benches from the town centre, because the authorities don't seem to have a solution to the problem of abusive drunks (although other towns/cities seem to have sorted it).
Perhaps a small matter in itself but it's one more nail in the coffin of what was once a thriving town centre. To watch it decline is heartbreaking for an owd Accy lad like myself and must be deeply disturbing for town centre traders like LancsDave as their potential customer base shrinks.
Flashy, it really isn't Gary on his own here, as you seem to think. A lot of people on Accyweb share his disillusionment with local politicians at the moment!
