Reading the leaders blog: www.tameside.gov.uk/blog/leader/
I believe I have come across the most ironic understatement of the year, if not
the decade!
On his latest propaganda page, the irrepressible Councillor
Quinn; a man who when it comes to civic architecture, appears to preside over
a council who are not only a bunch of serial defacers of market towns, but also show an
undeniable dexterity for colouring in; took time out from his busy schedule of delegation, to
inform us of the forthcoming annual 'Heritage Weekend' where he had the bare faced temerity
to say, “I’ve always felt we have a tendency to ignore our architectural
treasures in Tameside!” “That’s why I always look forward to Heritage Weekend
every September. ...It highlights our notable buildings and gives people a chance
to see what lies behind walls they may walk past time after time!”
Now coming from a man whose Labour council has presided over
the sell-off of plenty and the demise of both these famous Grade 2 listed Tameside amenities, I’m sure the people
of the borough really appreciate Councillor Quinn's remark. They know full well just what is meant by “...we
have a tendency to ignore our architectural treasures in Tameside!”
He's using the Royal 'we' innit ?
