IT must be extremely difficult for members of the public to understand how councillors, who have reached a perfectly logical decision after painstaking enquiry, should have that decision overturned by members who have not enjoyed that process.

One can understand the one or two members defending their seats, quite rightly, against local opposition, but the current blanket opposition by one group defies all logic.

This presupposes that they have another agenda, as yet unheard. But, whatever, it will be too late to receive the grant on offer. Four plus million is a huge amount of investment for South Shropshire, which we are unlikely to see again for some considerable time.

The consequences of allowing this opportunity to pass will be felt for a generation.
