Shiral Matters and Stratford Progress Letter Dispute
A reader rebukes Stratford Progress Association for misinterpreting a letter about Shire Works funding. The letter urged a written request to the Council before recommending essential Riding works, arguing a Councillor should need no such letter. The writer defends Dr Breese and Dr Bignell, praising courage amid opposition and defending councillors’ right to act without formal letter requirements.
