Apparently the Council contacted the Admin Officer for the HGBP who for some AMAZING reason felt that HE was competent to get involved WITHOUT the courtesy of bothering to inform the HGBP Board who technically "employ" him! This arrogance from a "never been elected by any body" VERY junior officer is frankly stunning! I serve on the HGBP Board as Polish...

You are right about it being from a Section 106 Agreement. I think the Agreement specified "a piece of public art" as The Horsefair is a "gateway" to Kidderminster. Trouble is that the planning permission was around 10 years ago; the public art has to go where the toilet block was......there's been a long delay and.....some idiot at the Council forgot the "no surprises" protocol which means that...

I too remember when this all started, as I'd heard little more I just assumed that it was being dealt with locally. That locals had been asked what they wanted, the council had produced a tender, drawn up a shortlist and presented the results back to the locals. Yeah that was a pretty stupid assumption wasn't it? Good gods get the people involved in something they'd have to...

Figures can be manipulated to say what the author wants them to say and unemployment is another one. Next they will say that the number of potholes we see are only an optical illusion because of the angle of the winter sun. Whilst they state that the number of people claiming jobseekers allowance has fallen they have not expanded on this. Jobseekers allowance can only be claimed for...

On the other hand I took a trip down the main duel-carriageway from Stourport to Kidderminster and counted myself lucky I was overtaking traffic as I passed the gouges in the left-hand lane next to me.

To be fair the Romans and the Greeks had an advantage in a low population/voter system. It's not as if they acted as a country more a city-state. Today it'd be as if London voted and then sent out governors to all the counties it had 'conquered'. Likewise I didn't elucidate to John, but there was a party system in some of the Roman/Greek democratic institutions, it just wasn't formalised. Someone from...

So why didn't you say so Fran? Come on something along the lines of         'It's Worcestershire County Council who are responsible...’ See - it's not our fault, we've complained to those who's job it is and in the meantime we're doing our best. All we see is not answering of questions or a quick pass of the buck.

District Council workforce were made available to help clear town centre pavements. The point I was trying to make was that, as the County are responsible as the Highways Authority it is the County, NOT the District which has gritters, snow ploughs and stocks of grit and salt.
