LEDBURY Town Council supported the installation of the new controversial new door in the Barrett Browning Institute on two separate occasions.
The council supported the initial applications in 2016 and then again, after three years, when the initial permissions had lapsed. But an earlier release from the town council appeared to distance the town council from the installation of the door.
That earlier statement said: “
There has been considerable discussion about the new door. Much has been unfairly aimed at Ledbury Town Council. The plans for the new door were first considered in 2016, with a further application with some amendments being received in January 2020. Many of the town councillors now serving were not in office at the time of the original application and when considering the amended plans earlier this year, these did not include any amendments to the already agreed plans for the new door.”
