Owen Temple

Liberal Democrat District and County Councillor for Consett North and campaigner in Consett, Blackhill & Shotley Bridge

Rumour has it ….

that Derwentside Council will allow the Press and Public into the debate on Consett’s Sports facilities (contrary to the agenda as reported in my last article).

Actually, it’s not so much rumour as The Journal which reported on Saturday:

“Coun Watson said he will ask members to agree to debate the matter in public, so the details can be reported.

He said: “I think that it should be heard in public so people know what is happening with it.”

We couldn’t agree more - we’ve been argiuing loudly for the press and public to be allowed in. And even if it’s quite late in the day for this change of mind, we’ll applaud it if it happens. Log on on Wednesday morning for a completely unbiased report on what happens.
