Last week I received a response to one of the Blog pieces below from a Judy Bettley-Smith.   Part of it is worth reproducing here and in order to make sense of my response .  I felt a response on this occasion was needed.

Dear Mrs Bettley-Smith

Thank you for your comments which you recently submitted to the AboutWrinehill Blog.

I was disappointed to read them, as they came across as unnecessarily personal and dismissive.  I believe it is important that discussions about local matters remain respectful and focused on issues of importance and relevance to the Parish rather than individuals.

My original comments were made in good faith and reflect concerns raised by residents, as well as my own experience during my time on the Parish Council.  Any suggestions and comments I made whilst a Councillor were not intended to be negative for their own sake, but to highlight and suggest areas where improvement was, and still is urgently needed.

Given your position as Mayoress, I would have hoped for a more measured and constructive contribution to the discussion, particularly as the role is widely seen as representing the borough in a non-political and unifying way.
