BBI losing "battle of hearts and minds"

On Tuesday we predicted that Boston Borough Council (aka the BBI) would ignore public opinion and vote to allow buses to continue to drive through Strait Bargate.
It was a pretty safe bet, and one we're sure that Joe Coral's would not have give us favourable odds for.
The decision has brought a strong rebuke from Fenside councillor David Owens, who says in a news release:
"Once again the ruling Boston Bypass Independents Party have chosen to ignore the wishes of the good people of Boston.
"In winning the vote that makes permanent the buses through Strait Bargate they have no regard for what people actually want!
"They have already scored an own goal by cancelling the Party in the Park; now this latest outrage.
"Elected members are supposed to represent their electorates views not ignore them.
"Well, so far its 2-0 against the BBI in the battle for hearts and minds, but the real losers are this town's citizens and local taxpayers."
