Think over years we have agreed the effect the planning dept's decisions can have on priory or bigger the Town.
We fought on many issues on the same side, but sadly in the main I don't the planning dept listened, they played lip service to us and our Vic.
One thing i still find very strange and oppose strongly, is that if your local, have knowledge of, or experience in, an area you are according top council not allowed to voice your opinion.
What a stupid ruling, something I ignored in my time on the council!!!!!
At the end of the day the electorate EXPECTS you to speak up for them, thats why your elected.
On the town centre, i think its fair to say with clear policies to build out of town by this council, the town centre in the main won't be able to compete/survive, apart from some of the nationals.
thats a sad fact of life.
