Welcome to the community news section of this website. See below documents relating to events listed.
FULL RETRACTION AND APOLOGY
Following recent claims published on Keep Southwater Green website in reference to Southwater Parish Council Chairman Mr Tony Bull, Clerk Mrs Catherine Tobin and other paid officers of the Council, please see reproduced below the full apology and retraction by Dr Thwaites:
“As the author of the website through which Keep Southwater Green seeks to keep the residents of Southwater in touch with events in relation to the development I realise that I have an apology to make to make to Mr Tony Bull, Chairman of the Parish Council, Mrs Catherine Tobin. The Clerk to the Council, and the other unspecified “paid officers”.
I accept that my statement that the above were “obviously very much in favour of development going ahead” was without foundation and wrong.
I further apologise specifically to Mr Bull for attributing a quote to him that was incorrect in the June 1st meeting. As is correctly stated I was on holiday and not present in person at the meeting. I was mistaken to use second hand information without confirming its veracity.
I did not, and do not, intend to impune the reputations of any of the above named and unreservedly withdraw my remarks. I am well aware that Parish Councillors do a difficult job without recompense and with little thanks. I am also well aware of the function of Mrs Tobin, Mrs Nagy and the other office staff. I know they do their jobs professionally and, from experience, politely and well.
I accept in addition that the whole tone of the website article was ill judged and counterproductive at a time when I agree the community needs to act together to object to the Interim Statement.”
Dr Ian Thwaites
