They are not simple questions and whatever answer is provided to them here, will just start off another round of personal opinions as to what the correct really answer is.

The only people who can directly affect or challenge Greenwich Council's current policy are those who live and have a vote there. Although I am certainly willing to do what I can to help. There is little point in confronting the officers but there are councillors who can help.
