During the ‘Lights Of London’ debate at City Hall in October 2010 the Council’s then planning supremo Councillor Daniel Moylan notoriously said;
“If we devolve decisions on planning to local communities, there will be no development whatsoever….Planning, development, growth and change in this country are often snared on nimby attitudes. You don’t resolve that by handing the decision over to the people who have that attitude in the first place.”
My father, who shall remain nameless, was sometimes heard to say;
“It takes all kinds to make a world. Thank God I’m not one of them.”
