Having attended board meetings in the past, I found it incredibly frustrating to watch the board waffle over decisions, not willing to take a stand, not wanting to be the bad guy. Time and time again the public is given false hope with "public processes" that are called after the decision has been made. The Mount Pleasant outdoor pool is one such example.It is ineffective, unconstructive and inefficent. How much money is it costing tax payers to revisit these issues without sufficient grounds for revaluation? I agree public consultation is important but you really need to carefully consider the all options and alternatives before recalling decisions, otherwise its just a waste of time a money and it just shows incompetance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
