Being Neutral

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be shot at by both sides (that's how you know you're doing it right!)"
Poor Gareth Ratcliffe! He says he's getting it in the neck from both sides of the re-development dispute because he's not taking sides. The problem is - he can't take sides. As soon as he comes down on one side or the other, by the Council's rules, he won't be allowed to speak on the issue. He thinks it's better to be there, in the discussion - and for that, he has to be neutral.
Meanwhile, he has managed to get the Cabinet to agree to have a meeting to discuss how they are going to respond to the public. They're meeting on Tuesday - but they haven't invited Gareth!

gareths behind the project due to family connections .

hes also being disingenuouis as he sits on the national park authority who will make the decision and who will commission the publ;ic consultation.

time you asked hims some questions as are others in hay - hes not saying much as he knows all about the dela his stepfather leo morelli put together with the developer .

powys hasnt sold hay out - the ever so transparent councillor who i and others in hay wont be voting for - has .

id suggest the next time you have chips - ask him the same questions we ASKED HIM TODAY .

HELL SQUIRM AS HES BEEN LYING TO ALL OF US.

Given the strength of the comments being made, I would suggest people do not hide behind anonymity!
