Whatever the ballot result let's hope lessons will be learnt.
Regardless of what the outcome of the ballot is tomorrow, lessons have to be learnt from the past five years, especially if Advancing Aberystwyth get to continue for another five years.
Businesses have made it very clear of the many flaws of Advancing Aberystwyth, so not for me to repeat what we already know and if they actually listen or care, that's maybe for another day.
However, this page is hoping for a No majority tomorrow and we see the end of Advancing Aberystwyth and the days of a BID in our Town, it is simply not fit for purpose in the Town that we see today.
Any future group/s need to be engaging with all and not just a select few. This would need to be inclusive of all, businesses, community groups, charities and residents, working together with a simple aim, making Our Town better !!
It simply cannot be an "Events Middle Man" or coming up with "Million Pound Wish Lists", sometimes it is the smallest changes that can make the biggest difference. Focusing on the things that can be done today, tomorrow and not 6 months or longer down the road.
Also the Council need to take back ownership of their responsibilities in the Town as over the past five years we have constantly seen them do less and less and others fill the void. Appreciate there are funding issues but always room for payrises at the top but that for another day and another page.
But for today, there is little more that can be done, this page has given the other side of the process, no glossy brochure with false claims and exaggerated budgets. Just facts based on the proof at our disposal and despite claims of lies, nothing has been proven with facts from the other side, just accusations.
It is hoped that the businesses of the Town have seen through the PR Propaganda and based their vote on what has actually been achieved the past five years with £1.25 million, rather than the wild claims of what can be done in the next 5.
Anyway, enjoy the day, sun is out, have a great time and thanks to all of those who have supported this page and campaign throughout !!
