All I seem to get on the webcast is the councillors speaking. What about the other people?
MightyGem, if you move the fast forward slide to min32 and then watch through to about min45 you will get the real meat of the evening. First the change of recommendation of planning from refusal to approval (albeit temporary which becomes permanent on amendment later), then the concise SSAFA rep's presentation, then WonderMum's very moving testimony. The rest as you say are the councillors.
I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to our own very special "WonderMum". The very raw emotion that she showed, despite trying her best to overcome it, was the most moving part of the hearing. It is the voices of those who have had their world turned upside down by losing their loved ones or having them return severely injured or disabled that brings the real moral authority of what we have tried to do here. The amazing courage shown by WonderMum, Chappie, Kam, Tapper's Dad and others is simply humbling. You all inspire the rest of us to keep trying for what is right. With your continued involvement we shall go on doing just that!
