Councillor Pope is the leader of the Alliance Party on Tunbridge Wells Borough Council. The main policy of the party is to stop the building of a theatre and civic centre on part of the Calverley grounds. At a recent meeting of the council the council leader quoted Cllr Pope as stating at a meeting of the Town Forum that the proposed location close to the railway station seemed to be a good idea.
Cllr Pope did not attend the council meeting as he has an indirect pecuniary interest (his wife owns a flat near to the site on which it is proposed to build).
Cllr Pope went into orbit accusing the leader of the council of fabrication and demanded an apology. He urged his twitter followers to complain. Now Cllr Pope has admitted he did make the statement quoted by the leader of the council. Silly man. Check facts before opening mouth,
