THAT’S THAT THEN, A DIVIDED VILLAGE – THANK YOU SPC!

June 17, 2024June 27, 20241

Fast link: https://stubton-divided.co.uk

Thanks to the SPPC this evening, I can declare that Stubton is now officially a
“divided” village, even though they argued they didn’t want this outcome. SPC
had every opportunity to be mature and accept the wishes of the majority of
residents or reach a compromise, instead they chose to be confrontational and go
with the minority (for those not understanding what we are talking about, we are
discussing this POST). Unfortunately, the way item 6.5 was written left little
room for discussion, incidentally on all items this evening there was no clear
proposer or seconder…….

If only the Council had followed the governing advice given by NALC and .GOV.UK,
they would have prevented the division. They had the perfect opportunity to
action the will of the people, yet they chose to ignore the residents wishes (a
reminder that councillors are elected to represent the people). Why would they
annoy the residents, I don’t know – but there we are – they have decided to
ignore democracy and we have to accept their dictatorial decision, or we drop to
their low standards?

The recent Flag Flying, survey conducted by Mrs Crooks and Mrs Flint was
undertaken when no council existed. The questions were fair and all view points
were considered. Yet, this Parish Council has chosen to ignore the results and
ignore the guidance provided by the “Nolan Principles”. They have chosen to
ignore democracy and become dictators, not unlike the very person they despise –
Putin. If the survey had gone the other way, Mrs Crooks and Mrs Flint would have
reported it that way, this is called democracy.

We were told by one of the councillors that they were coerced into becoming
members by the “controllers” of the village, to prevent LCC running the village.
We are also aware of pre-council meetings, deciding issues before council
meetings (more of the sham), which is forbidden.

Finally, I witnessed how this village behaved a couple of years ago, during the
planning request by the previous owners of Heatherway House, which was
despicable and I witnessed this awful attitude continuing last night when a
councillor started to yell at a resident.

As a footnote, we are totally behind Ukraine and support them in their quest to
defeat Russia. We especially recognise the great efforts families have done for
Ukrainian citizens in this village, but that does not mean the majority of
residents wish to see their flag flown every day (only on associated
anniversaries). The gesture to fly it over 2 years ago was just, but time waits
for no one – time to move on.

Thank you.

ONE THOUGHT ON “THAT’S THAT THEN, A DIVIDED VILLAGE – THANK YOU SPC!”

 1. Nomad says:
    June 18, 2024 at 9:10 pm
    
    Interesting – that Royal Wootton Bassett can reach a sensible decision – but
    our public representatives are so out of touch with the residents of
    Stubton! If you Google you will see many other towns have reached the same
    conclusion!
    
    Town makes decision to take down Ukrainian flag after two years
    
    Source this website posted 10 June 2024.
    
    The Ukrainian flag has been taken down after flying for more than two years
    in Royal Wootton Bassett High Street.
    
    The Wiltshire town first displayed the blue and yellow colours in March 2022
    to show support for the country during its ongoing war with Russia.
    
    The Ukrainian flag was flown alongside the town flag, and until recently
    had only been removed for events such as the King’s birthday, Armed Forces
    Day, Pride Month, and D-Day celebrations.
    
    In late 2023, the council stayed firm in the decision to fly the Ukrainian
    flag despite criticism from the public.
    
    Some locals demanded that the flag be taken down while others questioned why
    the town council had not acknowledged the ongoing Palestinian conflict in
    the same way.
    
    But now over two years on from the date the flag was raised, Royal Wootton
    Bassett Town Council has decided that the time has come to take it down.
    
    Royal Wootton Bassett residents will no longer see the yellow and blue flag
    in their High Street.
    
    In doing so, the council have been keen to emphasise that the town still
    fully supports Ukraine and Ukrainians seeking refuge in Wiltshire.
    
    “At the full council meeting on Thursday, May 23 2024, a motion was proposed
    by Councillor Steve Bucknell and unanimously supported by the town council
    to amend the existing flag schedule, and fly the national flag of England as
    our default flag in the High Street,” said a spokesperson for the town
    council.
    
    “Other flags may be flown at certain times of the year.”
    
    “This in no way diminishes our support for the Ukraine, as we all know these
    attacks continue, and the thoughts and prayers for those innocent people in
    the Ukraine have continued from the people of Royal Wootton Bassett ever
    since,” the council added.
    
    “We hope that residents and visitors of Royal Wootton Bassett will be proud
    to see our national flag flying in our High Street from the start of July, a
    flag to include all of society, and to represent what England represents for
    many people: tolerance and diversity.”
    
    The Ukrainian flag is being replaced with England’s St George’s cross. 
    
    To show continued support for Ukraine in its ongoing war with Russia, the
    town will raise the Ukrainian flag once more on the anniversary of the
    conflict on February 24, 2025.
    
    However, this will be a one-off event and the St George’s Cross and town
    flag will be the only flags raised permanently.
