All we’re asking for is fair play

He pleaded that the WDC take note of Warwick Town Council’s views on the public land known as St Mary’s Lands and that any decisions be put on hold until the town’s residents have been consulted. Subsequently, our mayor, Cllr Bob Dhillon, seems to have become somewhat frustrated by certain attitudes in a meeting to discuss the St Mary’s Lands, to the extent that he seems to have upset certain members who do not allow their views to be challenged.

However, the mayor was speaking on behalf of many Warwick residents who are becoming so frustrated by what seems to be the lack of consideration given to Warwick by the majority of Warwick district councillors. Taken together with the Local Plan proposals, backed again by the majority of the Warwick district councillors and support from Warwickshire County Council, the county town of Warwick is being gradually stifled. Warwick does not have a police station or fire station and the town centre has a disproportionate number of buildings occupied by WCC.

How can the chief executive, and Cllr Doody in particular, be made to understand that all Warwick citizens are asking for is fair play? Perhaps someone will be able to give us a glimmer of hope.
