Apart from the obvious inaccuracies contained in this letter, me thinks it's a tad too late.

Seanie- any chance you could to a quick timeline for us on the process that will hopefully be implemented early in 2009.in terms of time/delay what will it mean if the Scottish government "call the application in" - thanks

What's the bet that e-mails are winging their way to Councillors at the moment claiming 87% of residents were against putting PHS on the park?

It's shameful. Pretending that some that responded weren't actually 'residents' because the consultation identified 'parents' as a particular category is bad enough. It's obviously wrong not to include them as well.

But to then take the number of 'residents-excluding-parents-and-those that-haven't-said-whether-they're-parents-or-not' opposed to development on the golfcourse, instead of those opposed to development on the pitches, is just deliberately misleading.

I've read the Wave 3 report from cover to cover and I can't see how the methodology can be reasonably questioned. Surely there will not be a vote on it?

I fully appreciate that the council must do eveything it can to keep PHS from closing but I shudder at the £5.7M estimated cost of repairs. A new roof, new windows, new hot and cold water tanks (on the 9th floor!!) and all to be demolished in the near future.

Hopefully, all being well and timing of course, part of the existing PHS can be used for the decant of St John's. Makes so much more sense than Lismore doesn't it?
