  Yet more money wasted on consultants. Meanwhile I have just read that parking in Pencester has changed meaning there is even less in Dover, so much for encouraging people to use the town.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  What if the money (the getting of it, the re-distribution of it, the kudos and the kickbacks from the getting and the re-distribution of it) is the plan?
  
  Only if you see public projects in this way do their predictable failures as projects make sense.
  
  See 'Fastrack' for the most recent local example.
