Town Council - No Comment

Tenbury Town Council have instructed their Clerk to reply to all enquiries that they are unable to comment about the proposed Tenbury Biomass Power Plant.

Until a formal planning application is submitted and referred to the Council for comment they must remain impartial.

It was also reported that the planning application was returned to the developer by MHDC as the developer had not paid the planning fee. Whether or not the developer had been given advice about the shortcomings of the application is unclear.

Unofficially at least one Councillor is pro-the Biomass project, some are anti, and the others undecided.

In an unrelated matter, the Council voted to remove a negative reference to small Biomass Power Generation Plants from a report to be submitted to the West Midlands Spatial Review.

and yet you wish to remain anonymous! If you don't like what I write, don't read it. The Town Council Minutes may name the Councillor, but at this time I do not want to.

Over 2,500 people signed a petition against it. It must be assumed that the Town Councillors would respect, reflect and uphold residents' clearly expressed views.

You could assume that, but I wouldn't. One or more Councillors in favour may claim to be representing those members of the community who are pro.

The contents of this blog are my own random thoughts and concerns. I am not elected or nominated as a spokesman. I do not represent any organisation. I do not pretend to talk on behalf of the community. There are people who share some of my views, and others that do not. Unlike other forms of media, you have to go looking for this content, and if you do not like what you read then don’t.

When the meeting minutes are finally published (probably mid April) you will be able to see if what I have written is fact or fiction. Unless the Mr/s Anonymous who thinks I write fiction is a Town Councillor, how does he/she know what was discussed, as I was the only member of the Public at the meeting by this point.

One councillor has told me that he thinks he supports the biomass power station, but I see no reason to name him. He is entitled to his views, however much I disagree with him and it is up to him whether or not he wants to make his views public. As his views might go against the majority view amongst local people, it would seem unfair to put his name into the public domain. In any case the whole power station scheme appears to have been kicked into touch - so what would the point be?
