[Inside Out Statement] Town Estate is “an institution where two of the first women elected claimed to be sidelined”. [Town Estate Response] 
The Town Estate reaffirms equality of treatment between people and rules out discrimination between members of its personnel (trustees or employees) on account of age, sex, race or religion, as one of the basic principles of its personnel policy. When the Scheme of Arrangement for the Town Estate was last reviewed (1989) it records that Mrs Margaret Routen was a serving trustee. Since 1989, Mrs Dinah Hickling, Mrs Rinah Wall and Mrs Dinah Rudman have also served as Feoffees which have all preceded Mrs Sue Gowans and Mrs Pat Cumbers as trustees.
