Letter: Pointless poll

Published on Tuesday 17 January 2012 20:06

OF THE six designs submitted for the development of Aberdeen’s Union Terrace Gardens, one emerged as the clear favourite during a protracted public consultation in which the Aberdeen electorate took part (your report, 17 January).

Yet a panel of judges has selected one of the other designs, and the Aberdeen public is apparently to be given the choice between this one or nothing.

What is the point of holding a public consultation and treating the result as if it didn’t exist?

Thats what democracy is in present times - thats why politicians are so little trusted - they promise one thing and then do their best not to action what the public want. No one comes forward to stand for public office now because thay have to be dishonest to do so.

Don't you realise Derrick that our politicians always know better - or so the men in suits tell us !!!
