Yet you seem to remember it was a steady stream! So, this "steady stream" ....one per day, 20 per week, 10,000 per year? Surely you must remember some figures or how can you state it was a steady stream?
Oh, and don't call me ridiculous, you are supposed to be in the know about these schemes, being involved with some in the past, and as far as I can see you are the only one bolstering up the councils stance on this project, or at the very least seem to be championing the project. Or is it because you don't like answering "difficult" questions?
