Sir - I read in their recent leaflet that Labour Councillors Lynn Denham & Jabba Riaz personally ensured development money has been ring-fenced for Diglis. Well, if they did then they must have access to a time machine because the 'Section 106' money paid by developers was ring-fenced as part of the planning permissions for the ex-Porcelain and Diglis sites several years before they both were elected councillors.

There is a great chance to improve the Field and associated riverside for local residents and everyone who treasures them. That means consulting residents, and keeping them informed and involved with the correct information. Over half a million pounds is available to spend in enhancing Diglis Field and the surrounding area. It isn't often that this much money is available so we need to make a good job of it,
