I agree with you entirely. And I remember vividly a debate at Borough Council in which even Matt Harmer, who was certainly one of the more community-minded councillors amongst his gang, argued something along the lines that people such as himself were elected to make decisions, and that our role was just to vote for the people that we would most prefer to make those decisions for us and let them get on with it. Hounslow High Street is just one of many areas which is crying out for local input. Nobody better knows what it needs than those who live in the vicinity or the people who shop there. Its depressing condition is ample testimony to the the failure of the "we know best" approach of which you speak. |
