Hmmm...from six of us calling a meeting, I can see we'd need 3000 households (51%) to go with us (based on 50% turnout) to 'de-parish' this busted flush.
Are there 3000 Newbury people out there who want to save £70 a year by farming out the allotments, parks, cemeteries etc to community groups? Any ideas what to do with the town hall afterwards? I was thinking indoor craft/antiques market. Or am I just an ill-informed vexacious internet poster? -------------------- Newbury's #1 ill-informed internet poster

Forum warning: panda is a wind-up merchant, the best advice is to ignore this poster. Unless of course, they actually post something worth while responding to.

I was thinking indoor craft/antiques market. Or am I just an ill-informed vexacious internet poster? Is there actually a mechanism to force a deparishing? As dannyboy alluded, there's no compunction on a parish council to take action on the result of a public referendum. An indoor market/arcade is a great idea - I love going round places like that. If it was tied in with the charter market then so much the better. Successful town markets have created a unique brand for themselves - like books, or food, or antiques, etc. I suspect the salvation of a market/arcade would involve a similar distinctiveness. -------------------- Right an injustice - give Simon Kirby his allotment back!
