Yesterday I took part in one of the pre-Pan development 'walk and talk' sessions with local residents, PNP staff and the Director of Community Services. It was an excellent opportunity to listen to the views of local people of all ages, both resident on Pan and not. It is also gratifying to hear residents tell others in the Council the sort of things that I say as their representative.
What was less pleasing was the 'no-show' by three Council Cabinet members who had earlier indicated they would take part in this session. Given that they will make the final decisions about the Pan development, that doesn't send a very good message to local people. Presumably they will instead take on board the reports from these sessions when they make these major decisions ? Or have they already got pre-conceived ideas ?
