To many of us who have watched our council at work, it is very obvious the council is quite good at a “top down” approach that is not very appropriate for a small community like ours. The results of this could have been predicted. There are no doubt a few people who are happy with the direction this council is going, but you don’t have to spend very much time within the community to know these people are few and far between. This council has been poor not only at communicating, but also at listening – going forward like a bulldozer armed with a mythical belief in some sort of a “Silent Majority.” Well, there is no such a thing, and this is why the petition is so important. Therefore, the petition is just simply another way of communicating with a council which, up to this point, has been very poor at communicating and dialogue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
