Veil falls on Abbey Meadows Consultation

Purdah draws a Veil
The Vale of White Horse District Council’s Abbey Meadows Consultation ends at Midnight.

Only option A, and not B or C, sees a future for the Outdoor Pool. The result won’t be known until after the election as we are now into election Purdah – meaning veil or curtain – which prevents councils from making revealing pronouncements.

It was the lead officer, David Buckle, rather than a politician, who came out to receive a petition of over 2300+ signatures, organised by Naomi, to Save the Pool.

The Oxford Mail / Abingdon Herald were there to take pictures of the campaigners and the petition.

As the 38 Degrees Petition already contains over 500 signatures, David Buckle said, it will be discussed by the next Vale District Council, whatever it colour.
