| Hi David, fair enough. I take your point and these are evidently my own views. I also have no issue with money being spent to improve the Green, but unlike you, I think the flagpole is visual clutter, and to what end? The issue for me is yes, on the one hand, that ugly white flagpole in the middle of Acton Green, but more broadly, that the Council should take it upon themselves to spend the public’s money in this way, on things that don't benefit local residents, and with no prior consultation (that I'm aware of). I think that when we stay quiet on things like this, we encourage a culture of permissiveness that paves the way for the sort of development you refer to (Empire House) that, presumably, don’t have local resident’s interests at heart either.
