Morning thunder, your post made me laugh. And how right you are. The more I hear about all of this the more it really is just a series of personal vendettas and petty actions. The fact that the Lees seem to have been cut off from active membership of the TLRA is just astounding but I am not really surprised at the clear self selection and excessive control exercised by the Committee as it seems to fit.

I am also an observer to this whole thing but have lots of experience of working with schools and nurseries who do seem to face higher than average number of unreasonable objections as opposed to other kinds of businesses. I have also worked with mental health establishments and care facilities who I have to say would probably get an easier ride than Piplings have done.

I also really dont think the continuation of this particular committee and road reps is tenable in the circumstances. Too much damage has been done and too much confidence lost. Time to regroup, reform and move on to better things and the 21st century.
