Housing protest
Comments |
Letters are on their way to the Prime Minister and a
Secretary of State from campaigners at Sholden Parish Council who
refuse to give up the fight to stop housing developments in the
village.
Deal MP Charlie Elphicke is
backing the move and Deal Town Council has also written to Eric
Pickles.
In the letter to David
Cameron, parish council clerk Mary Shaw said the parish and town
councils, Sholden Action Group, local people and Mr Elphicke fought
long and hard to halt the developers.
She added: "They will double
the size of the village of Sholden and open the floodgates for
development on more of our green fields."
The clerk also wrote about
the dramatic change in the economic climate of the area since the
closure of Pfizer at Sandwich.
In its letter to the Prime
Minister, Sholden Parish Council enclosed its letter to Eric
Pickles, Secretary of State for Communications and Local
Government, asking for him to use his powers to "call in" the two
applications for Sholden, which won planning permission in
December.
