The issue is computer games - all lovely ideas of yours but if you have a 14 year old that has 1 lesson of games per week at school and an excess of energy, short lunch breaks post covid and no inclination to do anything other that stare at a screen when at home then you are doing them and you a massive favour by finding a sociable active outlet for that energy. -
Exactly the point!!! -
My understanding is that the "Community engagement sessions" aren't technically part of the consultation per se, and are not a necessity. They are basically PR / tick box exercises held by Gala to give the impression that they have 'reached out' to the local community, rather than a required action by the council - hence why there was (I presume?) no council representation on them. And as Gala don't like awkward questions, confrontation or home truths, of course they won't make it easy for people to attend...! The 'consultation' is the online recording of local residents views / objections by the council (which is a required action), so that they too can tick a box and then grant a licence anyway, irrespective of those overwhelming objections (as they've done for the past two years). The bit I can't understand is how a valid consultation can be carried out when the details of the event are unknown. Even whether the first Sunday is going to be a "concert" or a "festival" is "TBC"! How can anyone be expected to make informed comments on something they have no information on? @Blah BlahIf I can help with some kind of action I will, but tbh after spending a lot of time and effort over the last few years battling Gala & the council events team just for them carry on regardless, I am slightly out of motivation... -
What a load of Bollixing nonsense. I saw Corbyn once speak as a back bencher. I doubt whether he would have made a credible PM, let alone a leader of a mainstream political party, but he could speak very well. I haven't a clue what the quotes above are about.
