This is the
latest from Westborough's Conservative candidate, Daryl Peagram. He is not
known for his measured prose, or accuracy.
COUNCIL TAKE
BRIBE FROM DEVELOPER TO LEAVE POOR HOMELESS
Posted
on February 25, 2016 by Daryl Peagram
Last
month I took the unprecedented step of writing in the Echo calling on the whole
town to support a Victoria ward Labour councillor. This was to block a
developer’s attempt to renege on an affordable housing pledge for the flats
being built in Victoria Avenue at Heath House.
I
need not have bothered as the Indie-Labour led council has just taken a
£417,000 legal bribe called a section 106 agreement to reduce the requirement
from 84 to 52 affordable homes. That would only pay for three council flats
leaving us 29 homes short.
If
you want social justice you won’t find it with the current administration. When
residents are being environmentally raped by speculators, a bung as lubrication
is scant consolation.
Quite how he
remains an official Conservative candidate is beyond me. He cares nought for
the truth, and his scaremongering borders on the libellous on many occasions.
Aside from
whether it is a Labour-led Council (the Leader is a member of the Independent
Group), to suggest that the administration is taking a bribe is barmy. Quite
what the developers think of being accused of raping residents is another
thing.

ReplyDeleteI would have thought that those were excellent credentials for being a conservative candidate.
