Quoted from Downlander

  
Good.  So what makes you think that the rest of us give a stuff about the so-called Newbury Vision?

If you pay rates to WBC then you probably need to be concerned how your money is spent. If you don't, then my point is lost.

Brian Burgess has made his point - suspect he knew he didn't stand a chance of being elected.  However, he's got his views being talked about and probably further up the agenda.  Seems to me that his plaint is far wider than the 'Vision'.  A simple single page is more a wet dream than a vision.  Frankly, I suspect those who put it together are rather emabarrased about it and would rather it was just forgotten.  If they are not, then they ought to be. The issue is the capability of WBC.

Except I did wait, didn't start this thread and couldn't have come to the conclusion I did if he'd received anything other than an embarrassing amount of votes.

I think he did well actually.

Oh, I know.  I was just trying to get User23 to admit it.  He has a bit of a history of telling us out-of-towners that Newbury affairs are none of our business.

If you think the Vision is a single page then I'm afraid BB has failed with you. The Vision is considerably larger than one page.  There is still more to come - not just the dreaded Pavillion.  The biggest problem is that it is still as written (in the Lib Dem's time) - the action plan associated with it runs up to 2010 - and suggests everything will have started by then.  Of course it is running years late and takes no account of the altered financial state of the country.
