The Town Council have issued a press-release about my dispute with them. I would be grateful if you would read it and comment.

Back to the original point

Simon's shoddy treatment highlights again how incompetent Newbury Town Council is. If they're not banning grieving families from placing mementoes on graves, they're turning away potential traders from the market, and now persecuting an allotment holder who wants things done differently.

Seriously, why don't we abolish it? I am not sure how, but there's got to be a way. Who's in?

Yes Bofem, I couldn't agree more. It takes six local electors to call a parish meeting, and then just ten electors to vote in favour of a motion to hold a referendum. If ten of us can agree on the text of a question to put the the people of Newbury then I suggest we force a referendum, either on self-management or de-parishing.

Obvioulsy, it would be nice to get some support for my position too: I was prepared to lose my allotment if I was wrong about the consumer protection law, but I'm not prepared to lose it because I was right!
