General Discussion

"May I suggest that we actually find out what people, businesses and the council want, then determine what is actually needed then the steering group have something to actually steer." A public consultation in Dawlish based on what you are suggesting above started off, I'd say some 24/30 months ago now. It culminated in the Steering Group being formed a la the provisions in the Localism ...

from today's Independent. "Wearing purple caps and tops, the experts in trading and advertising working for the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) are heading the biggest brand protection operation staged in the UK. Under legislation specially introduced for the London Games, they have the right to enter shops and offices and bring court action with fines of up to £20,000. Olympics ...

As I for one don't know how many investigations there have been or are on-going perhaps you could let me and the rest of us know all about them. Like, who has accused whom of what, who has investigated/is investigating these allegations and the outcome(s) of the investigations. Park Road building sold at a loss eh. Well, at least it's off the present council's hands now. What a waste of ...
