I agree with all that has been said - especially about lack of accountability. From central government to the lowliest town council they always pass the buck. 'Not me guv!' The trouble with WCC is that it is manned by jobsworths on stupid pensions, massive holidays and almost complete job security. They don't HAVE to do anything - and no one raises an eyebrow, because they are all the same!
Very sad though, so many opportunities wasted because of their ineptitude. But don't give up. They thought the Chamber of Trade was going to quietly slink into the background and they are not. They intend to keep pushing until something (anything!) happens. WCC don't like it because they think they know best and shouldn't be questioned in their God-like state of overall control - and it also makes them have to THINK (not very common.) Watch this space.
