I DO get rather tired of the constant complaints and conspiracy theories pedalled by many people in this town.
Everything is a conspiracy and designed to attack different groups.
The Western Link, the Mersey Gateway, the Local Plan, any plans for houses in south Warrington.
Take your pick.
The council is deliberately out to get people apparently.
It is hiding its plan so the argument goes. It is in the pocket of developers. It is trying to come up with a back handed way of becoming a city.
What utter nonsense and tripe this is.
Why can’t people try to look beyond the rabble rousers and loudmouths on social media?
Most of these moves are simply a reaction to Government policy.
Who sets housing targets? The Government. Not the council, but the Government.
Who has taken away all of the council’s money, again the Government.
None of this is conjecture, it is fact.
So how are council’s supposed to generate money? Through council tax and business rates.
If they don’t, the money runs out and you will have monthly bin collections.
So stop the ridiculous, tiresome moaning and try some intelligent debate.
It may event lead to a better outcome for some of these plans which are so controversial.
