    The contents of Mr Knight’s letter appear to be quite clear and unambiguous, something quite unusal for Government. I think that it is time that Messrs Beynon, Wells and Pugh were to sit down and read it, word by word, and them state, publicly, how they are conforming with it. My guess is that they will have trouble, that is if they are to use single-meaning words.

    I also think that 100% support must be given to the petition to the PM set up by Julian Woodhouse.

    I would also like to know what the cost of this entire episode has been, and will be, as it is coming out of our taxes. Is this money being spent wisely? Come on Mr Pugh - transperiency please.

    You can always request the cost of this seriously flawed “Informal “Consultation” under the “Freedom of Information Act ” If you do so please also request how many man hours and how many Officers were involved and the cost of Officer time.

    You may also like to request what is the cost of expenses that were claimed by the two councillors involved in this process for their evening work.

    They cannot refuse you.
