A good summary. I noticed a recent Town Council social media post asking for suggestions. Nearly every response was negative, blaming Frome TC for car parking, roads etc. etc and just about everything over which they have no control. Some accused them of supporting planning applications that they opposed. Others demanded FTC open shops, as if councils own retail stores. I don't know how we change these perceptions.
In Scandinavia and Switzerland the public are politically aware. They know and understand where their money goes and who and what pays for things. We have a big uphill struggle to educate the public about what government does, at all levels. I am on a bit of a mission - wanna join me?
