[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7069139, member: 2119"] The situation you describe is much the same across the county. The change for us in recent years is that “incomers” and “professionals” have taken over the PCC. These are folk on big pensions well used to spending other people’s money but not their own. They have no practical skills or ability so what financial reserves that were left were soon blown “ getting people in” with all the right elf’n and safety where once we would throw a ladder up the side and help the local builder make things good or fell dangerous trees ourselves and tidy them up for the firewood. Now they put things out to tender and get royally done over with very little to show for it. We have had all sorts of expensive surveys and reports commissioned just to state the obvious. I really can’t see how I can help them at all. They have a mistrust of anything agricultural anyway and won’t listen to any advice. Given it up as a bad job and just mind my own business now. Still believe in God but not in the C of E. It’s a completely lost cause IMO. [/QUOTE]
