I am conscious that the youth peer group are keen to secure a skate board rink which is a cultural craze that has been imported from America. The cost of building a skateboard rink could cost at least 35,000 to 50,000 whereas a modern play area like the Castle Callandar at Callandar Park could cost around a 125,000 each. Due to scarce resources, the authority being short of cash and a totally resistant public unwilling to pay more Council Tax. With all the house building that has already taken place, is there any planning gain in the pot. In conclusion, I would encourage the small discordant minority of the youth peer group to at least try to sell themselves better and to show some respect and consideration to others in the community.
Scarce resources apply to all factions of the community from the cradle to the grave.
Three times I have asked John Constable to justify his actions relating to Westfield, specifically when set against the requirements of the Local Code of Conduct. He has declined to respond in each instance. In that respect I would agree that the correspondence is becoming a pantomime, particularly as he appears to believe that personal abuse is an appropriate substitute for legitimate argument. His latest foray about policy initiatives is simply another diversionary tactic. Policies are determined through the structure and local plans which councillors vote on for incorporation as the Council s development plan.
