Amalgam...Many good points here yet again, Michael!<br /><br />Amalgamations does not need to be huge. Freo and East Freo together, plus a bit down South to just past the old South Freo power station would do.<br /><br />Give more power to precincts, have more and smaller BID groups, who look after parts of the city and the community.<br /><br />The City of Fremantle spends a lot of money on consultants. Does that mean they employ incompetent staff? I don't think that is the case. <br /><br />Consultants are seen as giving more credibility to projects, especially when we fly them in from the Eastern States. I have listened to one of them three times now about economy and retail and was thinking if he got his knowledge from Google, because he told us nothing new.<br /><br />Boutique does not mean better service or better quality and supermarket does not stand fro crap. As always in life amalgamations need to be about finding the right balance and what is best for the community.<br /><br />Roel LoopersRoel Loopershttp://www.freoview.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
