Confusion

Is it me or is there confusion in the vaults of the Council. The "20 Minute Neighbourhood Initiative" purports to support  local shops and services. A recent Traffic Management Order(TMO) could make such shops less viable by increasing parking charges for those who staff these businesses. The "Our Town" programme purports to put residents at the heart of decision making to improve and maitain the quality of where we live. The TMO author never consulted the "OurTown " team although it might result in considerable damage. You have to ask where does that leave us residents who we were told would be at the heart of decision making?

This all comes down to our beloved Labour council's absolute obsession with anti-car, eco-zealot nonsense. I hope they all get an absolute bloody nose in the next elections scheduled for May 2026, assuming they don't find an excuse to cancel them as they have done in today's local elections across many areas of the country.

Paul, when were you last at the heart of an unbiased consultation by LBE? The last consultation locally took a form akin to would you rather a) be shot with a rifle or b) be shot with a shotgun?  The questions are so loaded to achieve the desired Council outcome that they border on nonsensical.

I'm a resident Artur and I strongly support schemes to help reduce people's dependence on motor vehicles.

It’s been proven time and again. The council & councillors have no interest in anyone except themselves .Corrupt, faceless liars

It leaves us ignored as usual by the likes of Cllr. Dismal and his cohort. The only message these people will understand is at the ballot box.
