Whereas New Forest District Council has been amazingly successful in attracting new business to their leisure centres with their Fit for Summer campaign, the backward looking Liberal Democrats on Fawley Parish Council have overturned the Conservative proposals to modernise and expand Gang Warily's fitness suite.
The purpose had been to increase revenue and thus reduce the pressure on council tax.
In spite of pleas from the disabled and the nifty fifties, the Liberal Democrats stuck two fingers up to anyone who got in their way of overturning Conservative policy. The Lib Dem county councillor on Fawley Parish Council, who led this disgraceful about turn, should hang his head in shame.
The result of this ill-founded decision is likely to be a 50 per cent rise in Fawley's council tasx in two years' time. Remember you read it here first.
COUNCILLOR ALEXIS McEVOY, Langley.
