Front page article/interview with the newly appointed Brentford Town Centre Manager made me laugh. Such a waste of money.  If people want to come somewhere they'll come.  If people don't want to come then they won't.  We're talking about Brentford here, just one of the many typical London suburb towns that no-one living more a couple of miles away or otherwise passing through will have any reason to come to, or want to come to.  That's not a dig at Brentford, but why can't we get real and accept that Brentford is just a typical London suburb town that serves its immediate community and an element of passing trade ?.  It will always survive in that capacity, but let's not pretend it will ever be, or deserves to be, anything more, and whether it 'benefits' from one town centre manager or 10 town centre managers won't make a scrap of difference... Baffles me in this time of Council resource and staff cuts, affecting frontline services that really do make a day to day difference to people, there's still money to waste on Town Centre Managers for places like Brentford...TCM's are for places like Kingston, not Brentford.
