When my local unit was threatened I wrote to the local media & got several half pages of stories demanding that the unit be saved and it was! Local MP's were badgered the PA written to. No stone was left unturned.
A lot of effort that in the end will result in the government doing exactly what they want in the end, it may just take them a little longer, Sheehy=winsor!!!
not having it right can cost a hell of a lot!
Very difficult to quantify how much 'a hell of a lot is' and the good old adage of 'a bird in the hand' will spring to mind when talking about savings. It's like saying what is the value of an cop stood on a street corner, some will say 'a hell of a lot' some will say nothing (usually those who live a couple of corners away.).
