Despite my best efforts I have still not heard anything regarding the last parish council meeting. So don't know whether the male members through the towel in and let the ladies take over or whether we are going to have more of the same for the next four years. Trouble with some men is they don't know when to fade into the background and play a supporting role. Anyway I suppose bits will dribble out eventually, they always do.
Moving on. Now we have sold the VI, what about the money? Currently it seems we have a lot of 'friends' in charge of this pot and to me that does not seem right since they are not a public body. They wasted money while they did have a hand on the tiller prolonging the agony of not selling when they should have done. What are they going to do with the money once it is in the bank account? I can see it either festering for years with either nothing done because they can't make their minds up or being spent on something not fit for purpose in a village. Perhaps they will apply for another grant for a feasibility study.
The right thing to do now is pass the trusteeship back to the parish council where it belonged in the first place, then at least then there is a structure in place locally where if it goes wrong we can show our displeasure at a public meeting instead of at a secret meeting held at someone's home.
