Feeling Frustrated

Business Tax


I am convinced that whatever business people say to Colchester Borough Council, it won't be acted on. They have been asking for a Park and Ride for years. Have we got one? The obvious site is Stane Park. Why hasn't it been used? They have been asking for the High Street to be pedestrianised for years. Why hasn't it happened? Because the car driver is treated as king in Colchester and the council is frightened of them. They have been asking for a covered market for years. Why haven't we got one? Because there wouldn't be enough profit in it. Once more the needs of the community are second to the selfish greed of the property speculator. They have been asking for years for the police to regain control of the streets. What do we get instead. CCTV and the town centre a no-go area for decent people. What a waste of time all this is. The Bid is a total waste of time, a dream of fantasists! The council have the power to act. Business people pay their taxes. They should not be asked to pay more unless they are guaranteed a result.
