Latest Press Release By SYR Spokesman
VERY IMPORTANT:
We need to keep the pressure on as the press want as many
comments
from members of the public as possible ASAP so could you send me a
few choice quotes
about the nights events. Keep in short and snappy. I need
you to send them into the
Western Gazette -
contact as many of the other
attendees, who are not on e mail, as possible!
I expect many of you were outraged about how we were addressed last night I
believe
we should make some complaints.(Ian Martin stomping off like a
spoilt child without
the courtesy of addressing us in a professional manner,
lack of respect by Phil Dolan
etc etc need I go on). Ideally these should
come from concerned individuals who we
haven't had much (or none at all)
contact with. I was particularly concerned as two
ladies remonstrated with
Cllr Tim Carroll about Cllr Fife saying we were only allowed
by invitation and that the
police should have been called, whilst also waving his
finger at them.
As so many are concerned I will be writing to request that Cllr Tim Carroll detaches
the
agenda item on the Sports Zone and convene a proper separate debate so we can
have a
decent amount of time to discuss it. This will mean they can get on with the
rest
of their really important business at a time of their choosing without
interference
from the Sports Zone issues. I suggest as many write to him to ask for
the same.
Post Note:
I have had a quick response from Council leader Tim Carroll to my request for a
separate debate as the interest is so high, on the arguments he makes for not having
this debate:
Implying that the meeting would be incurring additional cost -
for the Sports Zone?
Saying we had intentions, which
we have never had of disrupting normal council business
To suggest SYR members would do this is unfair.
So what reasons are left to prevent
the public from having this agenda item debated separately I ask?
I will also be requesting
an apology from Cllr Carroll for the unsubstantiated accusations made
(not for the first time) about me.
This was said in front of several journalists and members of the public after the abandoned meeting.
