Dear Kaz,

And here is an outright lie on the borough website.

Is the whole thing a PR exercise? The purpose to to distract the public from the possibility that infrastructure contributions are 66% lower than they could and should be?
This council refuses to let you find out. This council refuses to go on the record. Yes they are nice when you play ball. The conduct is very different when you challenge them.
Get money out of politics.

Update. It was a very informative meeting with some good and worrying points raised and covered with useful slides so that those pointes raised can be visualised. I even finally got a figure regarding average SDL contributions so I seem to be getting some traction. Why should community volunteers need to be pushed like this?
Most of you will never be able to see the meeting. You will have access to selective minutes and will have to pay for them to be typed up eventually. They will make little sense without the presentation screen and can miss out unwanted information without risk of a true public record.

I assume they're not filming it themselves either then ?
ReplyDeleteSeems very odd, and they gave no reason for this ?

Nope. It was possibly the most informative south of Wokingham meeting we have had yet. Really highlights the risk of Tesco roundabout Exit becoming the next show case at flood time. I've finally gat a verbal figure for S106 SDL contributions/dwelling of around £26k. Will have to get some written info on this now.
