Nikki Sinclaire is dismayed by the actions of Nuneaton and
Bedworth Borough Council today as they reject Nuneaton and North Warwickshire
Equestrian Centres petition.
The 4500 name petition was submitted last month.
The We Demand a Referendum Now MEP said,
“I simply want to bang my head against the wall.
What is rejecting this petition actually going to achieve? I
have met with Alan Franks myself and I urged him to talk to the elected members
and for the Council as a body to sit down and talk to those who are running the
centre on a daily basis.
I joined with the charity on Monday to deliver 5000
signatures to Downing Street and our message is simple: we want to save the
stables.
Public feeling on this issue in Nuneaton is very strong.
Elected people should listen to their employers; the electorate.
How much tax payer’s money is the Council willing to throw
at this issue? The volunteers at the centre feel let down and like they have
nowhere to turn simply because the relevant people will not engage with them”.
