QUOTE (Simon Kirby @ Feb 23 2011, 09:39 PM) Point well made Richard, and as it happens I do agree.
I believe more in parish councils than any other branch of the state, and I especially believe in their central role in community life, empowering, energising, and enabling. It's the damndest thing but I've always believed that a parish council with it's democratic machinery and statutory accountability is actually a safer pair of hands to hold the allotment service than a fully devolved service.
The problem is that Newbury Town Council is out of control and that does limit the options. I don't want to see Newbury de-parished, but I do want to see it behaving legitimately, and I don't see the current regeime making that choice for themselves. Newbury Town Council out of control?? Your the one out of control.

QUOTE (Biker1 @ Feb 24 2011, 12:40 AM) Much more enjoyable than talking about b l o o d y allotments! This comment was unnecessary and I apologise unreservedly. I fully appreciate this subject is of interest to some and has a right to be aired here. Sorry.
