I have to tell you that it was pointed out to me in a legal opinion that because the Council was NOT contesting Highway matters in the Appeal then if I
had done so, and continued to have the legal status (Rule 6) of a full participant in the Appeal, then I personally ran the risk of an application for
award of costs being made against me !!
I did not feel that could just drop the highway concerns that residents have raised with me and I could not face the risk of costs being made
against me either. So instead of being a special participant I will now have to just act as your Councillor who CAN raise highway issues.
