The station isn't the Council's responsibility.

The trouble is 'the people' aren't a homogeneous entity who all think the same thing. For every person who's adamant a building should be saved there's someone who would be happy to see it demolished, someone who thinks it would be nice to save it if possible but would be prepared to see it demolished in certain circumstances, and quite a few people who couldn't care less!

It's easy to think that 'they' aren't listening to 'us' when 'they' aren't doing what 'we' want them to.
