Baron99 Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) The tree campaigners finally receive an apology. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-66986396 'An inquiry report, published earlier in the year, found the council overstretched its authority in taking drastic action against campaigners, had serious and sustained failures in leadership and misled the public, courts and an independent panel it set up to deal with the dispute.' Surely the citizens of Sheffield have to take issue with the above in bold? Not all of SCC was to blame, just those belonging to the ruling Labour Group who believed they could run roughshod over a number of citizens.
