Vote needed before poll

Surely a Council vote on the McDonalds' issue (Application deferred until after election, Peninsula News, August 20) would be preferable before the coming Council election?

It would give residents a chance to reward or punish the councillors via the ballot box for the decision they make.

Deferring the issue appears as a means to stand for re-election without facing the responsibility for their decision.

Vote on it now.

Don't dump this development on us after the poll.
