As noted below:
At the last MTC meeting in February the council agreed to include two items on the agenda for their next meeting in March: To discuss whether to hold a public meeting to look at the potential negative effects of the GDF on our area and to discuss the motion “We, Millom Town Council, reject the area of focus as being beneficial to Bank Head.” The meeting will be held on Wednesday, 26th March.
However, this is NOT what the draft minutes of the February meeting state:
“A member of the public who had recently held a public meeting for residents of Bank head, Haverigg and Kirksanton. It was asked if MTC would consider putting forward the following to Cumberland Authority “(the notes of the public meeting were shared with the council and the council agreed to allocate sometime in the next meeting to discuss this more fully and the motion request of the council The Chair informed the public that this will be placed on the agenda next month and that NWS was arranging a further pop in event in Haverigg. “
The above is incorrect. It says nothing about them agreeing to discuss a public meeting. Now this could simply be an error. Or it could be yet another way of trying to avoid any public discussion (or, indeed, discussion by the Council) about the potential negative effects of siting a GDF here. And there is only one item on the agenda, the motion from Bank Head residents.
