There seems to be little point in protesting on issues, as the local councils just ignore what's being said (unless, of course, what people say agrees with what the council says). The words 'vested interests' comes to mind.
One occasion which runs contrary to this is SDC's opposition o the new footbridge, a stance which I support (and most Stratfordians too, I'd imagine!) Unfortunately, WCC seem to have hijacked the project and are pushing it through on the quiet. They are/have been holding a second 'consulataion' with selected local groups, which - surprise, surprise - are supportive of the bridge.
