I bumped into a friend s' afternoon who'd been invited. He'd no idea why cuz he's no longer lobbying, campaigning, or even moaning.
But he went along, quite a few Councillors, including Annette Brooke - no sign of Jim Knight - and lots of old people - his description - as he says, he's one of them.
No-one from local businesses. As with Barney's meeting on Thurs, it was during the working day, so many of us wouldn't have been able to attend anyway.
Anyone go?
Anyone know what happened?
It was about our next 20 years, would be nice to know what happened.
PS
can't find anything on PDC's website - mind you, that doesn't mean it isn't there!

Its the Purbeck Community Plan. Read all about it at http://www.purbeck.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=7342
The slogan of this masterwork is "be active be happy". A little too close to Kraft durch Freude, or strength through joy for my taste.
Culture and the arts merit all of 8 lines including a definition of culture that emphasises only the anthropological meaning of the word rather that anything to do with the arts. Clearly there is still a tendency in PDC that reaches for its revolver when (high) culture is mentioned.
PDC you will be glad to know, "enables" the arts and culture by going along to other peoples meetings and nodding politely. How saying you refrain from opposing enables it something beats me.
dear 8:37, Thanks.
It doesn't tell me a thing - not your fault - unless you wrote it!
Gov't speak for "we're gunna solve everything but not tell you how".
There are never any concrete proposals
WHY?
I dunno.
Its all a bit quaint. The government has told them to have a community plan so they have gone through the motions. As you have noticed its not a plan to do anything. Perhaps its some sort of parallel universe. The rest of us are in the normal one and get on and do things while official bodies are in this other ones where plans are nothing to do with defining future actions and in which trotting along to other organisations meetings counts as producing an outcome.
