This Whitby vote has a familiar ring to it...
People vote for something unenforceable/unworkable/impossible
"We voted, so it must happen!"
Others point out it cannot happen for valid reasons
"Boo! Naysayers! Unbelievers!"
Thing doesn't happen...
People who said it couldn't happen and were right are blamed...
Don't get me wrong. I sympathise that locals are priced out by second home owners and it should be dealt with. But I don't see how this can be promised on a local level. There just aren't the powers at that level. There seems to be an innate belief across the UK that if something is voted in, then it's a given, whatever the detail or circumstances.
