Joe Townsend: An Excellent Result
TheEye doesn't like Noel Edmonds. He's possibly one of the poorest "entertainers" on British television at the moment. However in the past he has used his fame to do some good things for those who need them. This particular one, however, stands out, and TheEye is very grateful.
From an article on this site about the 20 year old British Marine Joe Townsend who lost both legs in Afghanistan and then was then treated with contempt by Wealden District Council when he needed to build disabled accommodation...we finally see common sense and humanity.
They have (basically) reversed their decision.
The GrumpyOldTwat was one of many who also had this cause on their blog and one of thousands who took the time to complain. Many people found this issue via the blogsphere, so we all have scored a victory for Joe. Also salute the vendors and builders who, as you'll see in the video, have pledged their time and products for free.
Today is a splendid day for what is right and good.

Good outcome and Edmunds done well!
True, David. Credit where credit is due I believe.
Well done Noel. What happened to the named and shamed council bod who sneered at Noels program ?
Probably promoted.
As my posting verification word was "cones" then possibly to being in charge of speed cameras.
Or, on the Peter Principle, promoted to Parks & Leisure Directorate , Diversity And Equality Compliance Director, Cones.
