MICK FREER on behalf of the Halesowen Abbey Trust

Where on earth have you got this information from? Certainly not from me.

Whatever your sources are, they are factually incorrect. If you pursue this, you will damage relationships with Dudley Council, which, in turn, will damage the interests of the Halesowen Abbey Trust and the projects we are making progress with. I am appalled by what you have written.

Dear Mick

You cannot just sound off in righteous indignation when you do not supply me with the true facts of the case or, tell me where, exactly, I am wrong!

Do you really no longer have a care in the world for our green belt being used, not to grow grain to compensate for the barren Ukraine grain fields but, for horses - livery stables/shacks, smart showjumping arena and fields for horse grazing rather than farming for food?

You have the ear of the powerful MP, and councillors so stand with me to stand up for what is right and to speak out against wrongdoing in high places.

Tim

REPLY:-

Tim,

As an individual, you asked whether you were correct in viciously attacking Dudley Council in respect of the attempted restoration of a section of Dudley No. 2 Canal,  in 1997, and recent footpath work in Illey and Lapal. I have advised that you are wrong and your approach will damage the interests of HAT. If you wish to pursue this, you must approach the individual(s) who gave you this false information. It did not come from myself, or the Trust.

The Trust will not brief individuals. If we wish to pursue interests, we will do it ourselves.

I will not comment on the further issues that you now raise. If the Trust wishes to become involved, it will do so.
