Green Lane Eco- Park /Eco-Dump?
Kevin (13 February 2010)

Colin - Absolutely correct on all points!!

Dan - We were obviously at cross-purposes and referring to different things. There was no report and hence no photograph on the Advertiser's web site of the meeting, maybe there was one in the paper and that's what you meant? (Freebie papers go straight into the bin here, and the last paper I purchased was the Daily Sketch!). I have to say though that the best local web news coverage has been on 'Salford Online', and I have to congratulate them on their continuing impartiality - and that must be very difficult when they're given two totally opposing meeting minutes from the same meeting!
