Superfluous members of the Planning Staff produce huge tomes which they send to busy and unqualified residents to "consult". The "tomes" then pass into law and are used to justify proposals from developers. According to Section xyz and Policy abc, "demolition of the Odeon is approved".<br /><br />And lazy and equally unqualified Councillors on the Planning Committee rubber stamp the recommendations from Officers and the accustomed brown envelopes change hands.<br /><br />It sucks. And it stinks.<br /><br />Hornton Street needs to learn how to communicate with residents. Simple and concise messages. And a change in attitude in the Town Hall that officers are on the side of residents, not the developers.<br /><br />This is a job for dizzy - who unfortunately is useless and not qualified to lead.Angry Residentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690720220183337557.post-13195205568553613782018-12-18T10:43:47.911+00:002018-12-18T10:43:47.911+00:00Local Government waste, Conservatives and Labour, ...Local Government waste, Conservatives and Labour, is legendary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690720220183337557.post-81633743728293756232018-12-18T09:51:56.211+00:002018-12-18T09:51:56.211+00:00The reason for the differences between the Existin...The reason for the differences between the Existing Proposals Statement and the Draft Appraisal is that a new set of scribblers (with nothing better to do) have been given the job of filling 9.00am to 5.00pm with a 2 hour lunch break.
