The Trust needs to decide what to do next.
My opinion which may not be shared by all Trust Board Members is that we stop talking to the Council and Yorkcourt as its a complete waste of time and getting us nowhere, call a Public Meeting, start the crowd funding and instigate Legal Action/Judicial Review at the first available opportunity.
Talking and being reasonable has got us nowhere, in my opinion we have to start fighting for what is right.
I think now the new HoT and expected council take on it today is out in the open then there is scope for one more meeting. Telling them face to face that it is not acceptable and will lead to legal action is the best way to gague their reaction and takes away the 'they have refused to meet to discuss the new terms' argument that they will surely use. Set very short timescales (i'm thinking by the end of the month) and if they refuse to attend or comply then you have that feather in your bow moving forward and they don't. Doesn't have to be nicely nicley, make the meeting as uncomfortable and frank as possible and even short and sweet if they refuse to budge. It may seem futile but it needs to be done IMHO, they will use any leverage against you they can should it get dirty so cover every possible base. Once that is done should there be no positive outcome then it is the time to move. Legal action should always be the very last resort, it's costly, time consuming and given they would throw the kitchen sink at it leaves a very real possiblility of losing the case which leaves us stone dead.
