I have absolutely no doubt you are correct, Foxy. I am simply astonished at the lack of respect these people have for the hard work being carried out by others to highlight the plight of the town. How, in any way, shape or form, has the action taken by MAN4 been unnecessary? It was entirely apt and needed, as nobody else was actively doing anything (excepting Malcolm and his good people at WBTC, of course). Mrs Wallace needs to actually relate to the people, as others are doing. The Town Fair was a brilliant success, by the way, and well done to all who made it happen.

The Town Fair which attracted between 7-10 thousand people got no mention in the press, could this be for the same reason? They're quick to jump on the Bandwagon with front page news when an announcement is being made about the new Lidl Store.

Two very conflicting reports published on the same day in the local press. One County Councillor saying we can't pretend there is a money tree at the bottom of the high street and that they as councillors are as passionate as others about the town. In another report regarding a neighbouring town the public are being invited to view the £74 million investment plans of NCC. It would appear that there is a money tree at the bottom of some high street albeit not Bedlington or perhaps could it be some councillors are more passionate than others? The report from the News Post Leader also states there has been "too much unnecessary action so far which has not helped our community" I can only assume this refers to the Make a Noise for Bedlington campaign, a group that would not exist had the Councillors done what they were elected for, representing the people of Bedlington rather than trying to defend the misdeeds of NCC.
