MR HOUSE! Why in heaven’s name have you given misguided approval for Hendy to build on your former site?

What an absolute prime piece of land that would have accommodated a very much needed ice rink in the South!

Like Hendy it would have created jobs, but unlike Hendy, the number of people going to an ice rink, would far exceed that of a new and used car sales.

The revenue from the entrance fee would soon cover the council’s debts! The people using a rink are more likely to wander round Fleming Park, or go to the totally over budget new leisure centre, than the odd few people looking for an expensive car, used or otherwise.

Your decisions taken for the Ageas bowl scandal, the expensive move of your kingdom into Eastleigh, the over budgeted leisure park and now this – makes Tony Blair look like an amateur when it comes to decision making.
