I’VE noted your reporting of the approval of TVBC’s Revised Local Plan with considerable disappointment.
Your articles have appeared politically one-sided.
As an independent newspaper I feel you could and should have presented the information on a more evenhanded manner.
It is worth remembering that the Liberal Democrats have spent the last five years or so misleading residents by telling them that the New Local Plan would be found unsound. Now the Plan has been approved they have no excuses and nowhere to hide.
Their only course of action is to continue the same attack, which based on a discredited premise, has been defeated at two rounds of elections during the period the Plan was under preparation and consideration.
I hope your ongoing reporting will be more balanced.
