Quote During the dispute the Council failed to communicate in an open and honest way, let misinformation enter the public domain and allowed it to remain there. Failing to consult, engage and listen to the public, experts and organisations, all of whom should have been our partners, made these mistakes worse. It makes you wonder why anyone would believe that the introduction of the CAZ was handled any differently... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering why the councils 'champion' has suddenly gone very quiet - he still visits? Edited June 25, 2023 by RollingJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna B Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Do people think this apology is enough? Sure, it's grovelling, but do people think 'lessons have really been learned' or have the council got off too lightly to warrant them making meaningful change?

I don't think they have got off too lightly, if the introductory message in the Lowcock report is anything to go by - I have still to read the full report, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the tree protesters who should be apologising for stopping the council removing trees that were doing damage, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The row blew up because the council were clearly determined to ignore public feeling and go their own way, when it was obvious that many of the public objected.
