AN open letter to Lib Dem MP Greg Mulholland: On reading your letter singling me out for attack on the future of the Civic Centre, the first phrase that came to mind was: put up or shut up.
If you won’t use your position constructively to get fully behind the recent work of Otley Town Council, local volunteers and Otley entrepreneur Jamie Hudson, who have all put in time and effort to find innovative ways to bring the Civic Centre back into use, it would perhaps be better to keep quiet.
Repeatedly attacking the people who are looking for solutions is not helping anything – except, perhaps in your own mind, your own election campaign.
