Last week in her letter Gael Nash, suggested that The Echo has not investigated thoroughly before going to print on news about the SPPA (now Suffolk Park Community Association).
Yet did she speak with the six committee members (including me) who resigned before she made up her mind?
Has she considered why some of the six members who resigned have not been voicing their reasons for leaving the association?
Is it because she has been told they are ‘lazy’ or is it because they have been threatened to ‘exercise extreme caution’? And if so, by who? Critical thinking, please make an appearance before our beloved Suffolk Park gets swallowed up in Trumpist rhetoric. One last question for Gael and all – does she know that all six members who resigned have significant roles in NFPs and community organisations locally and globally, yet the president and secretary have stated that this is a whole new experience for them?


For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
