PoolTooSmall is a NON POLITICAL campaign group. We also report news in the public domain relevant to our declared aims without fear or favour from any source. I am delighted to reproduce in full below the opinion of Mr Philip Webster , a retired senior manager and highly respected contributor to the Press over the years.
SIR,- The astounding obduracy of the inner triumverate of the council (Cllrs. Donald, Burton and Rowlands) defies comprehension. Week
after endless week we see letters from readers, some of whom have professional qualifications way in excess of our "big three", and whose wise opinions we should receive with undying gratitude. But instead we have this wall of silence which reminds me of Sir Walter Scott's poem "The Bridal of Triermain" where the valiant knight of Triermain rung forth his challenge-blast again, but answer came there none". Lewis Carroll too in "through the Looking Glass" used the same phrase.
And so following in such footsteps our dictatorial trio continue to ignore cogent reasoning for the sake of political expediency which increasingly appears is going to result with a pig in a poke swimming pool and a massive and unnecessary bill for refurbishing Bricket Wood - a liability they had tried to conceal from the electorate. But that too seems completely in character when we read that Cllr Brazier (way down in the pecking order) is reported as saying that an LDF working party meeting was to be held in private as "there would be figures and questions that members would not want to ask in public". The mind boggles. So much for the democratic process and open government from our LibDem local rulers. PHILIP WEBSTER Townsend Drive, St Albans. |
