Correction

17/10/2013

THE News would like to clarify a story printed on page 3 last week about a council decision to approve a 17-home development in Lakeside.
The News quoted Councillor Jodie Owen as saying ‘paltry single-storey homes’ were not desirable in the development.
This was incorrect and the term paltry was not used.
