Clarification

 It has been noted in the Minutes of the meeting held on 27 June 2024 Minute 5 a statement made about this blog 'by a member of the parish council'- 'that  any comments submitted to the author of the blog which questioned the factual accuracy of the contents of its reports were ignored and not published'.  This is an assumption (yet another) not a fact.   It also seems to be yet another example of attempts to undermine the integrity of the blog (and its author). The blog, it has been noted, presents another view point which often differs from the 'standard'/'official' view presented via the Minutes particularly, where statements are made and treated as if they were universal truths rather than just  'a view' of a group of people. It needs to be pointed out here, therefore, that all comments received are read and considered, even though they come from a very small pool of anonymous, in the main, individuals, some with obvious agendas and with mali...

When a Hearing is not a Hearing

Behind Closed Doors 2: Recent Parish Council Meeting Highlights Ongoing Tensions

At the last Parish Council meeting, the Chair and Vice Chair presented a verbal summary of the Clerk's performance appraisal, as part of fulfilling the Council's annual requirement. However, the written report was not shared with members, prompting one Councillor to request its circulation. This request was declined by the Chair.  The Vice Chair expressed loudly, his strong objections to the question, stating that his integrity was being questioned, before leaving the meeting abruptly (slamming the door). During the public forum, three of the attendees read statements criticizing the local blog and Wrinehill residents' newsletter.  One being the former Clerk questioned the Councillor's vote on the end-of-year accounts. He also raised concerns about the Councillor's actions, suggesting that any queries about the Parish Council accounts should be addressed to him (rather than to the proper auditing authorities'. The statements, read out (which later became attache...
