    Extra Town Council meeting last night.
    On the agenda was an item regarding an upcoming ITV programme about Angus's, PFAS and the alleged pollution in Bentham.
    Cllr Marshal objected to the derogatory term "Toxic Town".
    Cllr Stannard wanted to wait and see the programme before deciding to respond.
    A team from ITN attended and filmed a pretty uneventful meeting, About 20 members of the public also.
    Ex employee, Cllr Macely-Young who seems to be a director of a 'Cleaner Bentham action group' Left the room while the discussion took place as he has a conflict of interests.
    ITV item due to air on Sunday eve.
    Sadly this is not just a Bentham issue, forever chemicals come in all shapes and sizes and all over the world.
    The other item of interest was the decision to give the proceeds from the sale of the youth club building about £50k to the Playing Fields Committee as a contribution toward a new clubhouse.
    Investing in the future of the community.

    Sounds like the new playing fields clubhouse is going forward as the Bentham Town Council agreed to support the scheme with some funds at their March meeting.
