Plea from the Chairman of the Parish Council

Recently, there has been some awful and hate filled talk about staff and councillors. There has not been a shred of evidence of wrongdoing, and it has been driven by a few residents who hold the council at fault, by the association with an application to build a 3G football pitch by The Ghyll CIO charity.
Staff and councillors have received abuse and threats, and I must take steps to protect them.
This awful behaviour must stop now.
I find it hard to believe that there are people in our community who can behave in such a way.
Calls to bring down the council are inciteful of hatred. Only too recently we saw the result of such behaviour elsewhere. If the council was to fall, the cost of reestablishing a new council would be significant and that would fall directly to all the residents. The psychological harm done to those affected is also significant.
I, and other councillors will be at the usual Surgery we hold, this Saturday at 10.00am.
If you wish to speak to us face to face, please come. I hope those who have posted these awful messages, reread what they have said and at the very least apologise.
Yours sincerely,
Cllr Derek Moore
