Nimbyism 2

A propos the previous entry, and not being a member of the Planning Committe: I now discover that the Lib/Dem Chair conveniently absented himself from the meeting (ducking a difficult decision? Or disagreeing with his colleagues and afraid to break the Party line? Surely not?) ; that the committee divided strictly down Party lines -Coalition councillors vs the rest (collusion or Party whips? Surely not?); that the Coalition voted against the official recommendation exposing the Council to the risk and cost of a lengthy Public Enquiry with councillors solely responsible for explaining their reasons (NIMBYism, surely not?).

What happens when we get to Mountgrange? Does the Coalition go with Jenny's recorded view and vote against? More nimbyism? More evidence of a Coaliton united in stopping Edinburgh develop?

What a bunch!
