It never made much sense but maybe if councillors were made personally responsible for any diminution in the value of public assets that their decisions caused they'd have less of a tendency to ignore professional advice.
Ahh... therein lies the key to correcting so much of what is wrong with this country - a wrongness caused by the lack of personal accountability.

True. Plus the fact that having been elected a councillor tends to lead people to think they are acting on behalf of the whole community. Some of the dialogue betrayed that -

"We are fed up with being told we cannot change." ...... ARE "we"? And who is "we"? I rather suspect, and hope, that a large number of Avebury residents - perhaps most of them - thought advice from EH, NT and UNESCO ought to be listened to and followed.
