| I do agree that Cllr Hearn has a valid point. It is Cllr Mann who is the real culprit here and will be the person liable for wilfully ignoring safety concerns and guidance from professional bodies. Where were the Conservatives if such eyebrows were being raised at Cllr Manns flawed ideas? Why were other Labour councillors also not realising this is a disaster route? Why did the conservatives not make this an issue at the time and raise the profile through various media? It takes a band of residents with no political colours to motivate driven by the passion they have for the area in which they live, because they/we have been completely ignored and let down purely to suit policy. So if Councillors are told to stick their heads in the oven then they do so without question? Thats not what the electorate expect in 21st century Britain and it's simply not good enough. But Cllr. Curran lives here, in the same type of house and has the same dangers inches from his front door. The risk is as great for him and his family as it is ours. Be it airborne infection from propagated 2 week old waste or from fire or damage. THat does not make it alright then. He is in a far better position than clearly the rest of us whom Cllr Mann and his charges refuse to engage. All he has to do is point out the shortcomings and very real risks that everyone else in the district had concerns about and are very real. The ward councillors are hamstrung, one was not involved at the time, but all are towing the line on policy, no-one asked or probed what was going on at the time. Even now details just emerge in drips. |
