Anodyne Civic Complex motion.

I quote from the Tunbridge Wells Borough Council's website:

On Wednesday 20 July at 6.30pm, there will be a Full Council meeting in Tunbridge Wells Town Hall which will consider, among other agenda items, the report from M&N Communications which gives feedback about the public consultation on the future of the civic complex in Royal Tunbridge Wells town centre.

The council will consider the following motion:

"That this Council notes the content of the M&N Consultation report, and thanks the many people who have contributed to it through questionnaires, workshops, drop-in sessions and focus groups. Furthermore, this Council undertakes to take account of the wide ranging and diverse views expressed in this Report together with the views expressed directly by members of the public, by Councillors, and in other relevant reports and documents, before taking any further decisions concerning the future of the Civic Complex."

The future of the civic complex is always a matter of great interest and therefore arrangements have been made for a live webcast of the meeting to be broadcast on the council’s website. The webcast will also be available to be viewed again on the website after the meeting."

Doubtless there will be the usual grandstanding questions from the aspic bridge and posturing from the more  excitable councillors.

What I  cannot fathom is why the motion is before the council as all it states is it will  note and take account of opinions expressed before taking any further decisions concerning the future of the civic complex.  Time for a big yawn.  Reads more like a PR exercise than anything else.  Methinks we should import a few councillors from Canterbury to put some dynamism into the Tunbridge Wells crawlers.
