The voting at the meeting was:
Improve Riverside Seating = 16 Votes
Install an Events Sign Frame = 13 Votes
Install Heritage Interpretation Boards at the Bridge and Church = 12 Votes
Install Markers for a town walk = 8 Votes
Install Signage at the entrance to the Burgage = 8 Votes
Install an Electricity supply for events on the Burgage = 5 Votes
Build a Sensory Garden = 0 Votes
Even if the Council ignore the voting at the meeting as not being representative of the town, the Consultants engaged to carry out the study of the Towns needs, also ranked this idea joint 7th out of a list of 11.
Lets hope that the grant available is not squandered on someones pet project that has little public support, and if it still goes ahead, once the capital grant is spent, lets hope someone has considered the cost of maintenance and it doesn't turn into yet another patch of weeds like the beds in the car park.

What happened to the idea of having a 'Better Welcome' scheme, based on the survey that was done last year? What happened to the idea of involving local people? Meetings are still being held, but so few people even know about these that the people of Tenbury Wells have effectively been squeezed out of the 'consultation'. Tenbury will end up with whatever the Council-led scheme decides to give it, regardless of what the town needs, regardless of what local residents want and regardless of what the local businesses need.
Same old same old!
