The only piece of information that was needed was the fact that he was convicted of a sexual offence. FULL STOP!!!!!!!!! He should not have been given the right to be put in a position again where he could be alone with a woman! Thats it end of argument!

I also noticed that on Saturday night a lot of taxis that came in the pub for people were from C&O when normally they aren't.

Well I for one aint taking you up on that bet cashy. Though what odds would you have given a few days ago to this turn of events?

I know that a number of us contacted the people on the committee to let them know of our disgust at their seemingly senseless action....maybe we had just a tiny bit of influence. I would like to think that councillors listened to the views of the people who elected them.

Complete cop-out,Cover up,call it whatever, they Knew he was a convicted sex offender from nov06 and on the sex offenders register until 2011. thats not enough available information? BULLSH1T.

SPUGGIE J · 19-03-2007, 12:51

So they ignored the info available and went with what they thought should be the course of action and fingers crossed that there would be no "uproar" by the public. The only phrase I can think of cant be printed here.

i do not give this panel any credit! any due goes to councillor pritchard,and others not on that panel ie graham jones n other councillors,and also everyone that actually did something about it. this panel-

A nice little U-turn - what about the other guy, the one who works for CB?

Lolly · 19-03-2007, 13:38

Exactly what I was thinking Willow, I wonder how their takings were this weekend. Its a shame on the other drivers for them, the decent and honest ones.

I am sorry to say, but life is selfish.
