Parish clerk's rebuttal refuted by her own minutes

In the Stratford Herald of 1st July 2010, there was an accurate report of the Beaudesert and Henley-in-Arden Joint Parish Council meeting held on Monday 28th June 2010. At that meeting, Ms Walsh, parish clerk, refuted a statement made in Henley NEWS Online that the council had received notification about the other entrants from Henley for the Warwickshire Best Village competition.

This was extraordinary observation because in the minutes of the parish council meeting of 10th May 2010, which Ms Walsh wrote, it states “…. and asked if any councillors who were considering making an entry to liaise with Henley NEWS Online and the Heritage Centre...”.

Clearly, Ms Walsh had forgotten what she had written only six weeks earlier.

Henley NEWS Online has published over 250 editions since it commenced in 2004 and it is not aware of any inaccurate reporting in any of these editions as has been claimed by Ms Walsh on more than one occasion.
