Dear Editor

I would like to commend Hadleigh Nub News for publishing the lovely story over the weekend about Dan and Tia (Farthing) taking on ownership of the Jet Lounge.

Full story here

What particularly impressed me was Dan's optimism in saying he feels the worst is over and good times are ahead. I hope he is right and we will certainly be going into the jet Lounge even ore than we do now.

However, and as much as I enjoy the writing style of Rowland Taylor's Ghost, I'm appalled to see his portrayal offer town council as 'England' Most Useless'. Given its behaviour, decisions and complete disregard for the rules even when sanctioned by Babergh's legal eagles, I'm not surprised this Hadleigh Town Council will from now on be known as EMUs.

Could I suggest a solution would be for all the town councillors to resign en masse, then stand again in an election (hopefully better people from our population of about 10,000 will stand). Then after the election Hadleigh Town Council will be able to get its General Power of Competence back and they will insist on having a properly qualified clerk, even if it means a change there too.

In the meantime, good luck to the jet Lounge and all other businesses in town that seriously needs proper leadership and more investment.

Kind regards,

Amanda Green
