Hello Folks.

There has been a lot of fuss in the newspapers about the demise of the town centre, recently. This nonsence has gone far enough!

Some say that we should concentrate on supporting businesses in the town centre, instead of out of town shopping developments. This is rubbish, absolute rubbish.

As long as we councillors and council officers receive “favours” from the developers and the stores concerned, why would we do anything to help local businesses in the town centre? That would be mad. The people who live in this area must think we are stupid to give all that up.

If local businesses want our support, then they should do some “creative accounting” and provide “tribute”.

That’s all for now, time is tight. I have a very important “meeting” to go to, with the developers of the Gateway development. They are great people to work with – very “generous”.
