A late Christmas card just in from St.Albans residents Mr and Mrs H continues to remind everyone what a disgrace the present New Bodge is.

" We have been following the disgraceful swimming pool fiasco - Dave's done a good job in letting the people know the extent of the Council's non- professional attitude towards planning.We never seem to to have had a decent Council in St.Albans for years".

PoolTooSmall comments:- It is not just incompetent planning - we also have a small matter of £26 million of our money getting it wrong. The Council say it will be "self financing". OK then SADC show us your project business plan - still hiding behind a "Freedom of Information " order. Call that "democracy"?
