The Ember Centre - A Response

I am grateful to those who have recently commented on the Ember Centre post on this blog. I am bound to say that I think suggesting I am losing my mind is unfortunate and doesn't do anything to further their legitimate if ill-founded concerns.

I would ask those who doubt my stance and that of the current administration to look back at the Esher News and Mail archives on the subject, at the minutes of the Full Council meetings at EBC, at the meetings of the various Overview and Scrutiny committees dealing with this topic last year, and I would invite them to reconsider their assertion that there was a move to close the Ember Centre.

I have never and would never put my name to such a proposal as I have made perfectly clear on three previous occasions, both in the press, in a Council meeting and in this blog.

I am not about to comment on the proximity between the Residents Association and the Vera Fletcher Hall, that has been a matter for the Standards Board previously and it is right to say that after investigation no breach was found to exist. That is and should be, the only stated position.

In answer to the question will I post details? Yes I will post details as and when I get them. As I have previously stated things are in the early stages, however I have received, along with other local Councillors an updated position and I am only too happy to share that.
