It took weeks of staff time, supporting the idea all the way and eventually $25,000 for a consultant to advise there was no merit in public participation in such a project.
But before that negative reaction expressed itself clearly in the community.
Despite everything the Mayor continued to express support for the project.
Horton House is for sale. It's a private matter.

With the Joint-Ops still out for final tender and a few other hot potatoes including that court case over the land dispute with the developer, I doubt that there will be any major project brought into play.
There was simply no gov't funding available. Nor any sponsors from the business community. ALL councillors admitted that even Hillary House was not sustainable and gave it just this year to get on track.

There has to be an end to constantly addressing an issue without seeing any improvement. A lady in the hair-dressers' this morning was complaining that while she loved volunteering to help out wherever she could, the incessant demands for money on top of that were grinding her down.

Volunteers are being ' encouraged ' to purchase tickets for fund-raisers.
Any volunteer should be well informed about the organization that they choose to engage their time and money before they decide to sign themselves up.

I quite agree but when you work for different outfits and then discover each expects you to attend ticketed events that you have prepped with them, it seems over the top.
