Our Council

It's too easy to despair. Our Councillors are lost in their own worlds. They need help.
Every day brings news of another failure to comprehend.
Recently we've been told that Bent Hill will be kept open, they just want to remove the pavements. Presumably so cars can hit pedestrians more easily.
Yesterday Felixstowe Town Council decided not to apply to manage the Spa Pavilion. It needs experienced management, one councillor was heard to mutter. They didn't think to ask the project team of local people, all very experienced at managing theatres, if they could help.
On Thursday a press release was issued stating that the public consultation for the south seafront development would begin on Saturday, and last until Monday. Two days warning, three days consultation - well, no, there's only one day of consultation because the Council have not put anyone in place over the weekend. There is a book to write comments. Nobody has, mainly because there's nothing to write with, and most folk don't carry pens. Simple matters, but they do get in the way.
The presentation is bizarre. Three maps, 2-3 boards showing play equipment, and a few plastic sheets of statements from the Council, most of which are not true.
Over the next few days we'll go through the objections to the scheme - it's enough to fill a book.
Can anyone recommend plants that will 'mimic' those found along the coast? How do you copy stinking goosefoot or sea cabbage? A glance at the Site of Special Scientific Interest that starts 200 yards from these 17.5 acres will tell you - that grass has trouble growing, the shrubs don't grow, and that few plants can withstand both the rigours of a maritime environment AND human pressure.
Give us strength to allow our Council to give away 17.5 acres of our land - for nothing.
Don't we have a standards committee for this sort of outrageous behaviour?
