The campaigners shouldn't worry about it... if it's like most of the [bold]decrepit Glasgow City Council[/bold] 'plans', then they will be quickly shelved once the media eye moves on.

True enough.

[bold]As I said before in response to Sydney:-[/bold]
Can the E.T. not make up their minds, or are the Council giving them signals that they'll pull their advertising contract if they don't get contradictory and positive light stories.
People are not that stupid they don't forget the story run just days before of Glasgow having the worst recycling record in Scotland.
Never mind Robert Booths spin and false promises, he for me is no better than Purcell.
Afterall he was shouted down at the "Go Ape" Public Meeting on January the 23rd.
When only seven of the 550 people in the room were in favour of Go Ape's proposal.
But even after the vote, Mr Booth said he remained confident that the course would be proven to be popular.
So, this man is not to be trusted, and people will see through his empty promises.
The answer here is not in the newspaper stories quoting Robert Booth, and Land & Environmental services, it is in seeing real results on the ground, rises in recycling levels, and satisfied members of the public.
Time will tell, but my feeling is Robert Booth like so many council officials will be left red faced, and eating their words, as they try to salvage what is left of their careers ( should they be lucky enough to be voted back in.)

The day that G.C.C. actually look at, never mind consider any suggestions or ideas by us the electorate, despite the fact that we vote so many of them in, will be the day politics makes a move towards being representative, and less hypocritical / farcical than it is at present.
