I too had an email from her this morning, apologising (profusely no less) for not having replied earlier - could it be that she reads the AccyWeb and saw my post?

She informs me that "the questions and answers in Friday's paper should have answered some of [my] questions" I know she means the Observer but it isn't as if that's the only "paper" in the world.

The fact that I was in Ireland on Friday and didn't see the Observer would have been unknown to her (unless of course she reads the AccyWeb and saw mention of our trip) but she kindly attached a copy of the Q & A for my perusal. I must admit that the "A"s have left me with more "Q"s than I had in the first place and I shall endeavour to attend said meeting on March 12th.

Please lets us exiles know what happens at the meeting when you come back as I am sure it will be different to reported view http://www.luxweb.co.uk/%7Eaccringt/...lies/smile.gif

I too, have just had an e-mail from Gayle Knight......well, it was just a flyer for the meeting really. I will try to get to the meeting to see what is being said.......and to find out how to oppose planning permission.

Re: big bumps on the coppice...?
 

The Planning Dept. will post a notice (assume on the coppice or near to) to indicate that they have had an application, should also give details. Once this notice is posted you can write in to the Planning Dept. indicating your opposition to the application.(I think there is further information on HBC website) and if you find out when the application is to be put to the Planning Committee, go along there and sit in at the meeting, and possibly speak on behalf of the people opposing the application. From past experience, the Planning Committee only seem to rubber stamp the views and findings of the "Technical Officers" of HBC,the Chief Planning Officer. See the link below, it lists current planning applications.

Thanks for that Park........I think you are right about the rubber stamping bit.
Make a mockery of public consultation though!

Re: big bumps on the coppice...?
 

I will try my damndest to be there. I may have to work but I don't know yet.

Hehehehe..... It will be like an Accyweb meeting but without the booze..:D

Re: big bumps on the coppice...?
 

Yup, I got the flyer too. Are we taking rotten fruit and eggs with us?

Re: big bumps on the coppice...?
 

I think the answer is HBC are anticipating coachloads of tourists turning up,stepping off the bus,staring at the coppice, and having a bloody good laugh.

Re: big bumps on the coppice...?
 

Hey don't know about that, but since they altered the runways at Manchester Airport, we are getting a lot more air traffic over Hyndburn now...............may be that's what HBC are thinking about, could be, there'll be a HBC salesperson at Manchester Airport

The Stanley fans even managed an anti-Britcliffe chant on Saturday!{in between watching all the goals flying past Barnet's keeper!**

Re: big bumps on the coppice...?
 

For the people not there it went like this, "He's fat, he's round, he's sold the f*****g town, Britcliffe, Britcliffe.
How true and so funny when the chant went up.

If this is true Bagpuss, football supporters have just gone up in my estimation!
