Saving Ryans Privates

At tonight's council meeting there was an emergency debate to pass a motion to individually consult with every central zone resident whether they were for or against the changes to the CPZ. Sadly the councillors towed the party line and voted against the motion 36 - 27. The Fairfield councillor Pat Knight voted against residents getting a choice in the matter.

The arguments in the Council chamber for the motion were well structured and compelling. Meanwhile Councillor Ryan's statement spent a great deal of time accusing the residents against his plans of being inflammatory and politically motivated (both untrue) and very little in the way of a decent argument.

Despite there being over 1200 objections to 4 approvals from Central zone residents Ryan has decided that residents don't know what they really want and that in 6 months he guarantees (that is what he said) that the residents will have changed their minds about the plans. Well, we will see if he saves his skin.
