HILTON Grugeon's belief (''He doesn't understand Newcastle': Grugeon', Newcastle Herald, 7/8), that those making the decisions on Newcastle's future are "working together for the better outcome of the city" is contrary to John Tierney's view of the state of play in Newcastle politics ('Whose city is it? Grassroots revolt at Newcastle town hall', Opinion 5/8).
Personally I believe we are indeed witnessing a grassroots revolt as diverse community groups and residents express their frustration and outrage at their lack of voice and political representation in decision-making at both local and state government levels.
