Civic Society corrects the myth

Posted on March 19, 2025

A myth has being doing the rounds that the Civic Society couldn’t be bothered to turn up to the County Council’s briefing meeting on Tuesday 4th March about its plan to rip up a strip of flagstones outside Cavendish House and replace them with tarmac. The timeline below shows that the Council’s last-minute invitation caused that.
