Nope. I definitely did not want PCATS removed I said so in September, I said it again in October and I said so in my email request to the chairman when I requested that PCATS be added to the agenda.
I did say that given their stated purpose their place on the council was about as relevant as the "Save the outdoor Pool" campaign but I appreciated that vigilance is required and I am comfortable that they exist and are part of the community council.
Allow me to bring to your attention the proposal I put to PCATS and Robert Gatliif, Maureen Child, Lawrence Marshall and Nick Stroud regarding the funds that PCATS still have. As far as I am concerned the money is to be used for one purpose only unless unanimously agreed otherwise. I am still deeply unhappy about PCATS "consultant" proposal and I do not accept the sop. I am remaining vigilant and I won't have the CC or dc dictate what I can and cannot discuss.
I believe you must have mis-interpreted what I was saying, I wondered at the time , as quite honestly I can't see what is outrageous about the following, which was published here on POL months ago.
Why would I be suggesting a partnership with the community council whilst simultaneously asking for them to be removed. It doesn't make sense does it Tom?

Memo to: Stephen Hawkins and PCATS Committee
From: Stephen McIntyre, The Mortgage People
Subject: PCATS funds
Stephen,
Further to our meeting at my office on April 28th 2006 and our exchange of views, I thought it valuable to detail my suggested strategy for the remaining PCATS funds, which were raised on the following basis:
[b]“Portobello Campaign Against The Superstore is a group of people who have got together to fight the proposed Superstore on the Scottish Power Site. The Group was set up by residents, following on from a successful petition started by traders. The Group is not aligned to any political party and anyone who is opposed to the Superstore Development on this site is welcome to join. Anyone who is committed to opposing the Planned Superstore can receive information from the Campaign..â€
