Grayson says 'a precious part of our local heritage could be lost'

March 2, 2009 12:00 AM

At the Dacorum Borough Council meeting on Wednesday 25 February, the Liberal Democrat opposition group proposed an alternative budget which included reducing the Paper Trail's annual rent from £30,000 to a peppercorn rent of £1. Conservative councillors claimed that reducing the rent would make 'not a jot' of difference to the Paper Trail's finances.

Dr. Richard Grayson, Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for Hemel Hempstead says: 'Anybody who has followed the campaign to save the Paper Trail will know that this is nonsense and that it would greatly assist the Paper Trail's efforts to secure a long-term future'

'It is a great shame that neither the Conservative-run Council, nor the two remaining Labour councillors supported this practical plan. They really should be doing more to back such a precious part of our local heritage - and realising the value of £30,000'.
