Purdah?

How can the Midweek Herald announce that it entered a voluntary period of purdah until after the General Election and then run (again) an item on the so-called EDDC Tourism Champion on the “possibility” of Jurassic Coast water- borne transport – a project ruled out last year by ALL partners involved because of the prohibitive cost and the difficulty of constructing appropriate jetties?

Where were the balanced comments of other potential town councillors on this already-buried project?

  1. This is exactly how the Archant papers operated purdah in 2011. Refused to cover the election but lots of articles giving PR to existing councillors. Just who are they kidding?
