Yet again MHDC bows to the whingers. Malvern is an elephants' graveyard, where the old come to die and the young leave to live, run by geriatrics, for geriatrics and where whingers win.
Most towns had a nightclub per 10,000 population in the town centre from 1970. In Malvern it took 30 years, one per 30,000, two miles from the centre on an industrial estate! Concerts at the Winter Gardens stopped 30 years ago.
As for the Newtown Sports/Sling Lane saga. Instead of encouraging youth sport participation, maintaining and utilising unused council facilities, combating child obesity, vandalism, drink and drug abuse, MHDC constricts the successful free provision by Newtown Sports.
The withdrawal of Sling Lane from Newtown Sports by MHDC is typical of its Victorian mentality - pathetic. Malvern's development was, is, disorganised, disjointed, dysfunctional, a mess.
