Can I just point out several points on this issue.

The first point is that the decision to offer the chance to resurface Hodder St, Annie St and back Manor St was taking by Peel and Barnfield Area Council not Graham. Graham declared an interest and took no part in the decision.

I along with other colleagues have been trying to get something done about Hodder St and Annie St for years. Finally we have managed to get some money from the area council to get these streets resurfaced.

A letter has gone out to all those involved on Hodder St, Annie St and Manor St, explaining what the area council intended doing. Graham had no part in this. I delivered all the letters. On the letter it clearly states that as Graham has a personal and prejudicial interest on the project he would be taking no part in discussions regarding the scheme.

I have had several meetings at area council level to discuss the progress of the scheme. Graham rightly took no part in any of them. But interestingly the two Barnfield Councillors who have made the complaint against Graham were at the meetings. Not once did either of them make any complaint about Graham.
