… And that’s additional to the 36 we already have!
Thursday 28th January 2021 – 11:00, ‘Triggered’ … by exploring my ‘Spam’ folder and discovering a Green Party email (I know! I used to be a member! WTAF!) … prompted much distracting thought and absence from family banter while I pondered whether to respond or not. I did;
It is disheartening to see such effort and resources focused on the Bexhill Town Council distraction.
I question your statement “it’s what the majority of residents said they wanted“
Actually … In 2020 RDC ran a consultation on the formation of a Town/Parish Council for Bexhill. The response was 2,193 with 78% (1,710) being in favour, out of the 45,000 residents of Bexhill.
Those few who did vote in favour represent the financially comfortable, retired middle class. Try asking the many Bexhill residents who rely on Universal Credit, work minimum wage (or zero hours) if they really want a rise in Council Tax (£10/Month for Band ‘D’) to finance yet another layer of bureaucracy, decided by another gaggle of 18, comfortably off, senior citizens with nothing better to do.
I now focus my efforts on much larger issues. A new Bexhill Town Council is like – ‘rearranging the deckchairs on the sinking Titanic‘ – Not for me thank you. Local party politics is a geriatrics talking shop, such a disappointing bore.
I am lovingly surrounded by my family of young people, the real future, and that is both delightful and terrifying when you consider the looming madness of a new ‘Cold War’ and Nuclear Arms Race – What is the GP doing about the information in the video above, other than box ticking platitudes?
Finally, please remove me from the Rother Green Party mailing list! I have asked previously but these emails do somehow get to me despite having marked them as spam!
When I come across one, it is unfortunately for me a trigger and depressing reminder of a time I invested way too much time and effort into a lost cause. A ‘Green Token’ support act for the Liberal Democrats, the lowest of all political parties!
Thank you
Best wishes
The farce demonstrated at the link above is no doubt repeated in little local governance ‘clique’s’ all over the country.
Sadly Bexhill-on-Sea is about to add yet another layer of bureaucracy consisting of 18 self important over inflated egos, adding unnecessary extra financial burden on many who already struggle to pay their council tax.
