I was interested to see in today’s Gazette that Bill Hayton feels that he was sacked as chair of planning and that the Gazette’s reporter Rebecca Smith thought that his views on the china gateway were partly responsible.Although Bill Hayton denied that it anything to do with the China Gateway, my immediate concern was that considerable pressure may be being applied to force through a project that could have dire consequences for the health of local people.
I am certainly hoping that now Bill Hayton is relived of his responsibilities and able to comment on local planning issues we will hear some forthright comments from him.
