Beware the claw, Greenham Parish banana Council at it again! Options

[Andy Capp]

According to the NWN, it would seem the possibility of a claw-back of the grant for the control tower is conditional! It might not come as much of a surprise to see Julian Swift-Hook citing 'legal professional privilege' as the reason why the meeting to discuss the apparent discrepancy in the wording of the council's press release and SIB's letter was made private.

In my view the council have lied by omission in the statement; also known as spin. All completely unnecessary.

No way would I vote Lib Dem, nor Tory for that matter, while we have the people like those in the council at the moment. I just don't understand how these people can keep making such 'schoolboy' errors!

I can only think it was an attempt to cool the nerves of those who are stakeholders and suppliers of the project; however, this seems a rather foolish thing to do bearing in mind the information is publicly available, thus, only increasing the possibility of distrust in the council.

Because in the great scheme of things it does not matter. JSH is back where he was - and no doubt it will be trebles all round.

Personally, I'm waiting for the CT to be finished. I can then buy it at a knock down price, fully refurbished with tax payer cash - shortly after the cafe & museum closes due to financial unviability.

Oh yea of little faith? All the thousands of customers that are going to flock to the New Vicky Park cafe, even in winter, will surely trudge up to Greenham afterwards for another wedge and a brew to see two of Newbury's main attractions won't they? Yes Swift Half has invested Greenham precept payers wisely that is why there are no complaints from them obviously?

Hmm, I don't know. The CT needs something special to draw the crowds. I know - a flag pole, that will do it!

Oh yes, set it off nicely.

What about some nice uniforms for the museum Guides? I'm sure funds would run to a gold braided one for the Council Chair, who will doubtless have a ceremonial oversight role once it's open.

Mind, with what's going on Worldwide right now, the Yanks might want it back in short order Perhaps JS-H knew all along?

Council Chair? Oh no, that won't do, the position needs a title with far more prestige than that - not for the benefit of the incumbent obviously, but the dignity and bearing of Greenham demands something more worthy, more worshipful - that's it, Greenham needs a Mayor!

I can see it happening. Once the ward boundaries are finalised, Greenham will end up big enough to be called a Town. Yes, an early act will be to go for a Mayor, using your post as evidence of public demand on social media!
