I joined the council meeting on the grants and seem to remember a long discussion about how the beds on court needed far more spending on them and so granting anything from CGS would be ineffective. Can?t remember the detail any more but sure it?s in the minutes of that meeting- there was a summary of each bid and outcome I think

That meeting wasn't minuted, conveniently.

It may not be the best use of the funds but it's a darn sight better than a mini Festival, for the benefit of a few homeowners who can't even be bothered to water the planters outside or near their doors and that are there to block traffic for their advantage. Saw this on twitter the other day.

While the council are at it could they beautify the rest of the old Area B? I know it has potential.

The background info about all the applications is here

The Court Lane beds stuff was potentially out of the Devolved Highways Fund, whereas Harmony in the Square was from the Neighbourhoods Fund. I'm not sure if there was ever a document explaining the rationale for which projects were chosen. It seems to be at the discretion of the local councillors.

Except this is the document that was produced on the night of the awards. I am talking of the night the different groups made their pitch to councillors - it was not minuted/recorded.

    • As a result of the Horizon scandal it now seems very clear that the Post Office management are highly disingenuous and not be trusted!  There needs to be a campaign launched to challenge the threatened closure, unless the Post Office can demonstrate beyond doubt that the branch is loss making - and even then it could argued that better management could address this. I hope the local media take this up and our MP  and a few demonstrations outside wouldn’t do any harm. Bad publicity can be very effective!         
    • Unlikely. It would take a little more than a bit of Milton to alter the pH of eighty-odd thousand gallons of water.
    • It actually feels as though what I said is being analytically analysed word by word, almost letter by better. I really don't believe that I should have to explain myself to the level it seems someone wants me to. Clearly someones been watching way too much Big Brother. 
    • Sadly they don't do the full range of post office services
