Important planning consultation today- again

At the Coro today

Four people there to 'help' .

One had no voice and could only read what was writtne in the accompanying guide but not answer questions.

Another said, "you're the only one who'se asked questions about retailing in the town and I don't know the answer"

Another said "The lady who can answer your question about the possible future of Stockbridge Lane Car Park should be here by now" Who's that - Jayne Kendall.

Oh sorry apparently she's not coming - Nice one Jayne.

Another wasn't at all sure what happened if a very reasonable argument was put to carry forward a proposal vs an emotive response from many many people. He'hoped' that reason would prevail.

What even if the Councillors were swayed by the vote carrying masses.

Well he 'hoped' that the senior advisor would be listened to and wasn't sure what would happen if it went to appeal.

There were plenty of " that's a good point - you should write that up on our forms over there"- at least five of them.

To the question "Are there any groups in Ulverston that are preparing a thought out response?"

"No"

Do other towns in SLDC have such groups?

Well yes several towns have residents associations dicussing and making proposals

Good old dreamy head- in- the-sand Ulverston and its councillors.


'Democracy' at work with a good mix of ignorance, incomprehensible documents, not-a-councillor-in-sight, and who cares anyway, finished off with it can all be changed in ten to twenty years anyway.

Well I have to soldier on and put in my reponses - regardless - just for my own satisfaction of feeling that at least I tried.

I need my bed! and a bit of fun!

How about a crossword - or was that a cross word?
