Summary
A tense standoff erupted at a critical community meeting about Maidencraig Court, where residents facing costly repairs—heat, roof, asbestos—were blocked from fully engaging when a reporter arrived. Council officers declared the session “closed” to outsiders, citing lack of prior permission, despite the invitation calling it an open “Owner and Resident session.” When the reporter was asked to leave, residents refused to proceed without him, ultimately walking out en masse. The incident exposed a clash between residents demanding transparency and council officials trying to control the narrative on urgent building safety issues.
