At the Town Council meeting on the 13th of January, two points were made by the SWRDA which I wish to refute.
1. That there is a regular meeting between the SWRDA and the County Council. By implication it may have seemed to those present that I was a member of the group, may I through your letter page make it clear that I AM NOT a member of this group.
2. The SWRDA inferred that the Red Brick building was in a perilous state and needed to be demolished. Not True. I visited this building on Sunday the 11th, the building is in the state you would expect any building which had no attention paid to it for 20 odd years, broken windows, tiles off the roof in parts all which can be replaced and repaired. Result a weather proof building which then is ready for refurbishment. This work can be carried out by local firms who would be pleased of the work. The cottages in Beckery are now to be handed to Mendip Housing for refurbishment, major work will be required on these. I urge the SWRDA and Mendip Housing to ensure that this work is undertaken by local i.e. Glastonbury, firms to not let the opportunity of support for local companies go.
