Public Meeting 7pm Tonight
The LEF (Local Engagement Forum) is on tonight at the Alexander Centre (the Council offices) in Preston Street, Faversham at 7pm. Anyone can speak at these meetings so please come and have your say. The E-Petition is on the agenda. The Council’s response to it can be seen here: http://www2.swale.gov.uk/dso/viewagenda.asp?uid=1212 .
I will raising a few questions about Council policy about Standard Quay (I will try to put these in a newsletter later today) and will be pointing out that, much as we think a Compulsory Purchase Order would sort the problem once and for all, we got the message they don’t want to do that some time ago, and that the E-Petition is about far more than this.
Elections are coming up, so we are expecting that more than the normal three or four Councillors will be in attendance and probably a few more Swale Planners than normal too, so its a good opportunity to get a few messages across.
I can only congratulate for the admirable efforts to save the meaning, the atmosphere and the identity of such a singular place.
My message is to say that, even as far as Brasil , we are attentive and hopeful that Standard Quay achieves to be preserved.
Truly Yours
Paulo Baptista
