Our local newspaper, the Largs and Millport, only printed pro-BID statements and letters. Traders protested that debate was stifled. For example, this week , 18th December, 30 traders lodged appeal for new ballot, yet, despite the anger in our town, this has been ignored.
The editor has castigated the 140 who did not vote as `do nothings` ignoring the evidence that so many of us were `know nothings`.
This newspaper does not have premises in Largs. Easy to be pro-BID when you do not have to pay the levy for next 5 years. A levy which will be enforced with sheriff officers by the council, which did NOT ensure EVERY business got a BID plan and a ballot paper
