Off Topic Hull City Centre Public Realm Strategy

You surprise me.

It’s almost as if having a Mayor is a ****ing waste of everyone’s time and money isn’t it?

 

Trying to stay within the board rules, my view is the less 'government' the better.

 

Not really. The Mayor has lots of powers over various things - economic development, training, transport are a few. It’s just that relatively minor planning decisions of this kind isn’t one of those various things.

 

I really don't want to get political as it contravenes the boards rules but, really?

Economic development? What does that actually mean and how does it translate into impact on an area? How is it achieved?

Training? Of whom? For what? Again, with what impact?

Transport? How? What? You've said that Mayor's have power over transport. Empty words at their, um, emptiest.

 

Yes because what I said was all the information available. Dearie me, if you are unaware of the facts, fine. Don’t bark at me for that though.

 

Fair enough, if that's what you feel.

Good luck with your ex-boxer sorting all that out though.

 

I make no comment on the effectiveness of that or any other Mayor. I just know what power and influence they have available to them.

 

Money talks, his 13 million quid annual budget squeaks.
