A False Picture

Bilberry in Flower

SWT's Chief Executive claims it was unfair of me on this blog to single out another member of the Reserve Advisory Group critically in this post. Leaving aside for one moment the appalling abuses his staff have committed and he has supported, what on earth can he be thinking of?

The point I had been making was a valid one that people should declare exactly who they are and who they represent. This individual did not. He sometimes shows up in the minutes as representing CPRE, sometimes Ramblers and sometimes Peak and Northern Footpaths Society. Those minutes are used by SWT to illustrate (falsely) the wide level of consultation and support they get from local organisations when applying for grants. That individual is actually a trustee of SWT and this is never declared in the minutes. Maybe this would not matter so much if it had not been in the context of SWT undertaking a sustained campaign to discredit those people who genuinely speak for the majority of users of Blacka Moor - those who walk there weekly and even daily.
