Hi there Cath, and thanks for your email. It is only the second email we have
ever had in defence of June Blissett. The other email was received today
and had exactly the same point - almost word by word - to which the satirical
conspiracy theory side of the site would of course question ;-)
Please read the web site carefully, there are only three pages dedicated to
issues with the Parish Council, and there is a clear roadmap on how to fix
the issues identified on the site.
We have invited June Blissett and the Parish Council to respond to any point
in writing, but they do not seem able to put anything down on paper (or on
web page!). This clearly makes the site seem very one sided - gossip vs.
written word.
It is true that the 'blog' has drawn people into the site, and it would not be
wrong to think that the satire described on the front page around the issues
you discuss lighten the subject areas and form some very interesting debates
in the village; overall though we hope that as time goes on we will be able
to provide more information about the village and open the local issues up to
the people of the Parish.
I do hope that in the future we can have a 'forum' on the site where questions
like this are openly debated, but at the time of writing it is a technology
challenge that we are working on! We have great help though from similar
independent local sites who have this technology working, and we hope to be
able to have something working in a few months.
I would also like to invite you to write articles, news stories, or just
comments like this that I can publish on the site. If you think we are
wrong, biased, or just want to give people something else to think about then
please seriously consider it!
Hugh.
Of course, we never heard back from her. So Cath, here is your opportunity to have your say.

I have just noticed this comment by Cath and agree with her. I have lived in Harwell for 16 years and always found June Blissett to be fair and reasonable. I have often thought about replying to your comments which I have found to appear spiteful and hidden behind this site in a rather cowardly fashion. Who are you exactly?! Print your full name and be counted! June has dedicated her time to helping others. Lets us know about some of your achievements the village apart from drumming up vitriol and giving non Harwell residents the idea that we are a bunch of mean minded moaners! People who live in glass houses should not throw stones!
ps I also have 3 kids and use Bobs attend Church and appreciated June's support of school and parent and Toddler Group in years gone by! Tracey
