Now what rumour can *I* start? :-) The disposal of radioactive waste from OUTSIDE the Borough is usually quite a good one, as it gets the NIMBYs going too. Followed closely by the burial of asbestos. - Tom. |

BUT you will find that once the ground is cleared that the planning app changes and its now to be used for "low cost housing" a bail hostel the such like. Your best way to fight is the loss of community, the loss of the green space, ecology recycling. Get the Greens on your side. Dogger |

loss of the green space, ecology recycling. Get the Greens on your side. Forget the Greens, concentrate on the Greys. Even the Chancellor runs scared of pensioners marching on Parliament and appearing outside courtrooms - he's been running for cover for a while now, scattering free TV licences, winter fuel allowances and £100 "Council Tax Rebates" in his wake, in the hope of putting them off the scent. If there's one thing all politicians fear it's people who have the time and the inclination to bombard them with letters, phone calls, corporate complaints and awkward questions and to pack the public gallery at Council meetings. IME, pensioners are ideally placed to make Councillors' and Local Govt Officers' lives a complete misery and they have the advantage that politicians instinctively feel that they *have* to listen to them and tend to be hamstrung when it comes to fighting back. Although politicians can be robust (often downright rude) in their handling of the rest of us, it doesn't do to be seen to be ignoring or rough-handling an 80-year old grannie now, does it? - Tom. |
