An Open Letter to Dumfries & Galloway Council

Dear Councillors,

Having spent and enjoyed many years as   a frequent tourist and a fisherman seeking the joy of chasing that elusive sea trout/salmon with some of my mates to Dumfries and the Solway Coast I hold a keen interest in the progress of the region.

 

I have just listened to the audio recording of the latest Dumfries & Galloway Council meeting (Sept 25) and, in particular, the section relating to the anti-Israel motion proposed by Councillor Geddes.

 

While, eleven councillors were moved to support the original motion, it is gratifying to recognise that the vast majority of Dumfries & Galloway Councillors, for whatever reasons, were sufficiently aware of their responsibilities to their electorate, agreed with your assessment and limited the Council’s response to the humanitarian issues involved.

 

Please convey my compliments to all relevant councillors for the sensible and professional manner in which the conducted their short debate.

 

Best wishes,
