Some time a go, I wrote about the plaque at the old Ayresome Park wall incorrectly crediting Labour councillors Bloundele and Hussain with having some sort of involvement in securing funding to maintain and keep the wall. You can read the original article here.
Since then, the council have looked into it and, at one point, agreed that he plaque should be changed to appropriately reflect the efforts of former cllr Jackie Elder and give credit where it is truly due.
However, it now seems that our Labour-led council are happy for the misinformation to remain on the plaque.
What they could have once dismissed as an oversight and corrected, has now become a blatant lie which they are all aware of and all party to. Labour in Middlesbrough, happy to lie to the people that fund their existence.
Have you sent this to the Gazette?
Do you really think they would run it? I’m sure Jackie Elder will have contacted them regarding this but I’ve not seen anything in print thus far.
I understood that a new plaque was going to be ordered
