Potts thanks Collins
Hearty Thanks to Peter Collins
Contributor; Cllr. David Potts (Cleadon Village and East Boldon)
"I was so pleased to hear that Peter Collins won his tribunal. For those of
us who never doubted that Mr. Collins' actions were right and entirely in the interests of public protection, it was a wonderful result. One cannot imagine the pressure he and his family must have been put under. I wish Mr. Collins all the best for the future and would like to thank him for having the courage to act in the public good."
I too would like to express my thanks and appreciation for the public spirited stand that Peter Collins took on this issue, he carefully considered the very considerable risks to his own career before deciding that the interests of the safety of the public were a far more important principle to defend. It was a couragious act indeed to bring this issue out into the open, an act that put at grave risk his job, income, his family's home, and his reputation. Of these four, at least one remains intact, an unblemished reputation that diplayed passion for his field of excellence, and sincerity in his desire to protect the public.
Peter, understandably wishes to return to work with The National Trust, and whilst we must recognise that this may not be possible, I hope that an agreeable compensation settlement can be achieved and that he finds suitable work in a similar environment to that which he so recently loved so much.
