Sort of by the sounds of it, but I don't know your exact set up. BUT gayle says the area councils are all made up of borough councillors or people co opted on to the area council by existing councillors, which will mostly be borough. Therefore you have , in my opinion a dissadvantage, in that your town council is also your borough council. We have two totally sepperate councils, only a few are on both town and borough. They are all still useless though, and have their own agendas. If something that would be usefull to the towns people becomes available and it doesn't fit with their agenda you've got no chance.
Gayle may as well give up with the ossy shops thing, you'll never convince the councillors to commit money to any regen scheme unless you convince them that it's their idea.
