No idea. I lost interest and stopped reading the local paper about then. I gather that they're busy knocking down bits of the town at the moment in order to fill the pockets of some dodgy property developers whose plans don't seem to stand up to careful examination. However, I don't care now we've stopped the people next door knocking down the 'big house' and building a '15 dwelling' three floor block of flats. We can live with two big 'semis'. -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
