Well done for suggesting this Chuchilo. If we just keep using words like cretins and lunatics when referring to the EA we are not going to be taken very seriously.
I made a post on this subject which I see has been reproduced in this month's MBM. It was the only one putting the opposite view to the concerns expressed very forcefully on this forum.
I am concerned that the proposed sales may be the thin end of the wedge, but I accept that the EA has to balance its books and change is something we have to live with these days whether we like it or not.
I would love to know more detail about the decision, what the current costs are for maintaining the properties, what savings will be made, what they expect to raise from the sales, how the money will be used etc. I would also like to understand more about the reasoning behind the properties targeted for sale and what provision will be made for the families living in the properties to be sold.
Only with this sort of information can I really make up my mind what I think about the decision and whether there really is a risk to the future of the river as has been suggested. Is any of this in the public domain?
