THERE has been a lot of engagement following our story last week that a number of Argyll and Bute councillors have asked members of the public not to post comments on social media – ie, Facebook – but to put pen to paper and write to them instead by ‘snail mail’.
One councillor related an instance where more than 60 comments were posted about problems in Soroba but only one person had written to her with an old-fashioned letter. The councillor added that as soon as she received the letter, she acted by setting up a meeting.
But if she was aware of the problem previously because of social media, why did she not act sooner?
