This tree was thankfully saved by me from those who wanted to fell it so there was a clearer view of the Town Hall !
The Tory run Town Council had paid for new paving with Suffolk County Council in front of the Town Hall and wanted the tree to go.
The Town Council wants to have a big say with the District Council on how the money from Tesco's recent expansion should be used to improve and enhance the Town centre. Seems perfectly sensible and right to me.
So far we have some good new litter bins, some well used new seats, some new Christmas lights are on the way but what else could it be used for?
The Chamber of Commerce want to use it to set up a Trust to run the carparks free for ever. Unfortunately, this may be difficult as these areas were probably not named in the legal agreement.
Some on the Town Council would like to use the money to redecorate the front of the Town Hall. That might be visually appealing but shouldn't this windfall be used for something that will last and not something that should be in a maintenance budget!
