Now then mushrooms, are you all sitting comfortably?

Hello people of Redcar and Cleveland and beyond!

Now, what I am about to tell you will come as a shock to you because it hasn't been featured in any local newspaper, or on any local radio station or on any local TV news programme. When you take into consideration the sheer magnitude of the development that I am about to reveal to you, you will probably wonder why Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council, as they are massively affected by this development, have issued no press release to inform you of what has happened? I mean, aren't the local authority supposed to inform the residents of the borough just exactly what is happening within the corridors of power and exactly what the state of play is with important issues?

Well yes...it is important, but Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council, despite having known the information that I am about to reveal to you for nearly two weeks now, have said absolutely nothing! I will attempt to expand on why later but lets get down to the news.

NEARLY TWO WEEKS AGO, THE SUPREME COURT OF ENGLAND ( OLD HOUSE OF LORDS ) THE HIGHEST COURT IN THE LAND, DECIDED THAT THE ISSUE OF THE COATHAM VILLAGE GREEN ISSUE SHOULD BE HEARD BY THE SUPREME COURT.

The fall out from this is massive. The village green case in Coatham is now a test case, a law will be defined as a result of this case being heard by the Supreme Court. The outcome of this hearing will affect battles for open spaces and village greens all over this country and yet Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council haven't mentioned it once in the press or on their website or in their own council publications?

How's that for only letting you know what they want you to know? Oh no doubt they'll get a press release out in double quick time now that I have put this posting onto this blog, but it's not something that they really want to do. You see in March last year, they put out this story in the press and on their own site

What is funny about this is that the day before this press release went out, the council had already notified opposing solicitors that it was their intention to take the issue of the village green to judicial review themselves and yet in their press release they make out that the whole process was over and the protestors were beaten?
How embarrassing for them now then to tell the public that the process that they had made out was over, even though they knew it wasnt, has now gone up to the highest court in the Country.

They lied in the press, they deliberately did not tell the public the truth and now that the issue that they tried to make the public believe was over once and for all ( even though they knew it wasn't ) has gone all the way to the Supreme court, they are left wanting and their lies have been exposed once again. This is probably why you have seen no mention of it in the press from them even though it is absolutely massive news.

Afterall, how can they tell the public in the press, nearly two years down the line, that the village green issue is going to be heard in the Supreme Court, when they have already told the public in the press that the whole process was over without showing themselves up for being the absolute liars that they are?

What are they going to do if the land is given village green status and the Coatham scheme is scrapped as a result? What spin and lies will they feed the public then?

The whole rotten, inept, lot want sacking and an independent investigation should begin straight away.
