Today dawned cold, crisp and frosty. A good day to visit the church Christmas fair in Yarm, and to order the Christmas turkey. Still people stop me to ask what the decision was on The Rookery, despite all the coverage in the Evening Gazette and BBC Radio Cleveland. The really nice thing is the number of people who thanked me for what I said, when all I did was follow on what had been said by John Fletcher and Mr Douglas from CPRE.
