• The post you are reporting:
   
  I was asked this morning to take part in a Radio Kent discussion during John Warnett's breakfast show tomorrow, as I am involved in the St James development as a landowner who is in negotiations with the council, and have also previously been quite vocal on both radio and TV about the foot-dragging which has gone on for years. I declined on the grounds that until Thursday when the plans go on public view I shall have been unable to form an opinion on them so have nothing more to say than when I last had a public moan on the subject.
  
  What would I do? I would replace most senior council officers with half as many managers with commercial experience and contacts in industry and finance. If the council has to remain officer-led, (which it will always be with so many councillors and so much political infighting) let it be led by business people not local government functionaries.
