Council debate on a grant for "The Red Slipper" community film project

Cllr Stanford has complained that this blog quoted her as calling the Winchelsea Diamond Jubilee Committee "rude" for not having shown the parish council the film of the Jubilee year in Winchelsea, to which the council made a small grant (in fact, the film will not be finished until next year). The word was noted by several people at the meeting because it was such an odd thing to say. Cllr Stanford denies saying it. The word cannot be heard on the tape-recording of the council meeting but this is unfortunately not definitive as the quality of the recording is poor in many places due to mumbling and asides, against the background of rustling papers.
The tape-recording did provide a reminder that Cllr Bronsdon objected to the grant because it was only for Winchelsea and there was nothing in it for other wards!
