Masterplan Delay

"Staying the same is not an option" - that was what we were told. However John Jory, MSDC Chief Executive, now says of the local plans: "…consider…whether to proceed with the master plans, amend them or abandon them."

So, finally MSDC has realised that their proposals are extremely unpopular. Seemingly, the only people who like them are the council and Thornfield Properties. Not that they want to talk to the little people. TC Steven in the Middy Mailbag says that Thornfield Properties representative at Burgess Hill library was new to the company and said he couldn't comment. Whoever he was, I feel sorry for him. Obviously, all the important people don't want to be confronted with a hostile crowd, hope all the fuss dies down and then they can get to the important job of making money.

Now, we have the deadline for consultation extended. Have we got local elections this May? If we have, it's a pity; I was so looking forward to our councillors electioneering. For I would like to know the councillors' views on the local plan. And they clearly don't seem to be in touch with the people that vote.
