Thanks Ziggy - Not a new comer to town, know all the councilors and what they do or more to the point what they dont hence the point of this thread. Will be at the meeting
Exactly what I had in mind, watch out at the next elections in May. We may however find that my application gets blocked on political grounds by the usual closed shop members, or if I get passed that stage the can't be bothered, supermarket loving population of our special town wont bother to turn out and vote. If its not in my back yard why bother !
Has anyone in town ever managed to get any sort of help from our elected councilors either local, district or county without them having a vested interest in the issue themselves.

Sainsbury's is only the start, wait for the hundreds of new houses to be built from the warren to Exeter Road and the loss of all the green fields.When your stuck in the traffic queue from the new roundabout to town think how much easier it was ...
