Regrettable Decision
In some cases the position of Mayor becomes more dictatorial,manipulative,demanding instead .The position is one that needs care so that fairness and consideration of all is paramount.
The whole process surrounding the Sports Park proposal has been one of divide and conquer.Do it my way or no way.
This is regrettable as the decision that has been made is held up as a decision that will be looked at as a bold decision.Just as was Splash Planet. A bold decision to spend vast amounts on a project that could have been more effective if delivered differently. A bold decision to ride roughshod over thinking people and to use a manipulated time to persuade newcomers to change their stance.
These people had the opportunity to stand up and be strong but they failed.
What is most unfortunate is that those thinking and caring people have little redress and while seeing the process undermined do not have any ability to have an investigation into the behind the scenes workings.
It is an absolute shame .The decision is wrong and some new councillors have become victims of the system already .
Appalling.
