However, it is the centralising, inflexible and untrusting culture of top-down bureaucracy that the Labour government have presided over for the last 12 years that frames this issue. Under Conservative proposals, councils and communities will have much more power to take the decions that matter to them locally. Labour have had 12 years to give communities this kind of freedom and they've failed - time for change. Agreed, the Liberal administration must face-up to its responsibilities on this.

Secondly, the "failing government" as you so eloquently phrase things has nothing to do with the state of the former Derby Hippodrome as it is now. Derby City Council is controlled by the Liberal Democrats, not Labour, and it is them who you should be persecuting for allowing this wonderful building to slowly crumble in front of our very eyes.
