ECO TOWN: Minister was insulting

She presented them as nimbys born with silver spoons in their mouths. Nothing could be further than the truth.

All have demanding jobs yet they found time to research whether or not the Arun Valley was the right place to site an Eco-Town.

Like Arun District Council before them, they found it was not.

The housing minster was not interested in reason.

Her job was to steamroller through an area chosen by Parliament.

For want of a reason, she chose to insult publicly a group who worked tirelessly, for no reward, to establish the truth.

They were working for us. I hope we can support them.
