Another report, probably written in the bar of the nearest pub. Designed to antagonise and increase circulation. Press reports often are and have frequently been quite wide of the mark. When I read reports of fires I attended it often seemed that they were writing about a completely different occurrence to the one I was at. Years of news reports have made me quite cynical.
While you may be right about Press reports in many cases, this one reports the words of Councilor Barton. He no doubt wished to antagonise certain sections, but would do so with the full backing of many residents in the area, including myself.
The M6 link passed with 200 yards and we were about half a mile from the Junction. Of course we never had a dog's chance of preventing the project and had to live in the polution.
