Well done Councillor Vickers - your outrage is wholly justified.  Please keep the pressure on.

Haven't seen anything quite like this anywhere else.  Must admit they make a nice feature and make the town look as if we care at least!  Quite a novel approach for once.

Ooh yes!  But let's have some bollards, much more fun. ;D

Let's just hope the Council are right.  To the uninitiated, it just looks like a slow decline.  Several stalks have come and gone; the one that sold biscuits, the other fruit and veg stall, etc.  Do the non returners give any useful feedback?  Could we usefully merge the farmers market? A crowd attracts a crowd.

Can't we buy some geese...

I'd agree with letting PCC role disappear.  Nice idea; but those elected turned it into a huge flop and demonstrated it was simply a means of rewarding political cronies. 

The rest is pure Labour!  Making the Police a profession? What a hoot!  They simply need to take their oath seriously and have a size 12 fitted where it hurts when they don't

Well, if we kept the path in front of our own house / shop / office clear, there would be far less disruption and the Council Workers would be able to do far more. 

When I was a lad, too many years ago, it was the done thing.  In fact, people who didn't were considered anti social!

All to the good, and I'm sure they'll do their best.  Would be worth everyone else taking heed as well.  Hope we don't get any 'surprised' business houses who rely on road transport being caught because they are located in side roads, or residents / shopkeepers who can't be bothered to keep their frontages clear.

Let's hope it works.  Rather a long process, but there we are.  Frankly, whilst this might seem reactionary, what was actually wrong with the stocks?  A short humiliating shock could well be cheaper and more effective than a very short stay one of HMs excellent institutions
