Into The New Era ....

Ah - councils are dreadful. Our local one tried to sell off greenbelt land to a property company, and they ended up with a huge protest on their hands. The protests have been going on for years, and the council seems to have given up. The locals in that area started a community garden on the land (a different one to the one I did a course with, though I have been involved in this one too). They sent round petitons, organised events and created a "children's wood". Maybe we're just more bolshy up north!

It's a joke here and the locals are soft haha. I think within ten mile radius of me they are building a least 10,000 home and that's at least. They don't listen to a word anyone says just money money money. I think they are one of these councils that got private loans and are more screwed. Problem in the roads are crap and not being update nor are the amenities. The shit will hit the fan soon, then people will wake up 💯🐒

I live in Glasgow, and the nefarious practices of our city council are so notorious that a book written by an American academic says

locals in Glasgow have found that a seat on the city council is the road to riches.

But at least most people know that's the case, so we do tend to take them to task regularly.

Unfortunately when they think they are right you will never win if they claim you own them money the your screwed. But alas their time will come and soon I think when people realise it's extortion 💯🐒
