An open letter from Jane Scott OBE, Leader of Wiltshire Council, regarding Liberal Democrat Literature

______________________________________________

“I understand that during your campaigning, you have been telling your audiences that the number of houses to be built in Chippenham, and their location, has been determined by the Conservative administration in Wiltshire council.

We are all aware that Liberal Democrat candidates, at election times, distort policy, ignore facts and become economical with the truth, but I am surprised that you have sunk to this level of deceit.

You know perfectly well that the proposed number of houses to be built in Chippenham is a requirement of the present government and that the council has not yet given their recommendation as to the locality in which they will be built. You also know, from your attendance at council meetings, that we have consulted with residents and, following their submissions, intend to consult further before any proposal is put forward for public inspection. And you also know that the whole exercise will be abolished in the event of a Conservative government following the election and greater power given to local authorities and local residents in these matters.

Perhaps in these last days of electioneering, you will adopt a policy of greater integrity and stick to facts rather than fiction and discontinue misleading the public for personal gain.”
