Mickey Jones, of DJ Property has stepped in while our abysmal council has been bogged down in a mess of its own making. At last a man of proven results is addressing the disastrous North Quay saga. I fervently hope he will succeed in stimulating action where others have slumbered.

Every support should be given to him; he is not just in it for the money, though of course he would benefit, but has delivered millions of pounds of benefit to our local economy.

Give him the carbuncle which is the former council offices for free, I say. No doubt our representatives will say this would trigger a capital loss, but not a cash one I suspect; indeed over several years this monstrosity has cost us a fortune.

This farce has continued long enough - in these straightened times I would not be surprised to see the council suing itself for non-payment of Council Tax, and paying teams of lawyers on both sides!

More power to Mickey and his team.
