....the new levels of their incompetence.

I have been struggling to get words down but I am, amazingly, stuck for
words.
I am still angry with the AVDC about the new development but words are
failing me at the new levels of their incompetence. Less than a year ago
they dug up a road to remove a central reservation, at a huge cost. They
are now planning to put it back in.......

They have built the new theatre that seats 1800 people, but not made
any provision for parking. So then they had a good idea, why not tear
down the multistorey opposite and have a single level of open plan
parking for 110 cars. Brilliant, tear down a large carpark to create a
smaller carpark. They are calling this phase one. It's a shame phase one
and any other subsequent phases weren't considered before the grey
granite monstrosity opposite was built.

The main issue that I have, excepting their project management style
of steam rollering public opinion, frivolous waste of massive public
funds and gross ignorance of the needs of the area, is that we are being
asked, on a National level, to pull together and reduce the National debt.
On one hand we're urged to caution and tightening of belts for cuts that
are going to hurt all, on the other hand we see our local council jollying
along, wasting millions of pounds of our money on things that won't
benefit the local economy, the majority of families or youngsters that
have nothing to do except wait until they are old enough to be served in
pubs.

It does raise a very obvious question: if a small, backward and narrow
minded provincial council like Aylesbury is doing this, are they alone?
I would be interested to know how many other councils are guilty of
equal and greater waste.

Some things just sicken me.
