Has the Trusts hard work been plagiarised?

26th September 2014.
HAS THE TRUSTS HARD WORK BEEN PLAGIARIZED?
The Trust has been examining the online documents submitted to the Public Inspectors office on the 31st July 2014.

These documents seem to have no mention of our Trust or Charity in the Council Forward Planning Departments  documents that they provided to the Public Inspector Mr Hollux.

We are very concerned by these actions to portray historic events as something quite different. We  have worked very hard in 2012 and 2014 to canvass the opinion of the public.

It is noted that the only group recognized in this paperwork submitted to the Inspector is Ore Community Land Trust as all of their responses have their name on them.

Dates for Hearings now set by Program Officer

16th September 2014
DATES FOR HEARINGS NOW SET BY PROGRAM OFFICER.

Dates for the hearings concerning the Revised Development Management Plan have been given today. The Preliminary Hearing is to be heard on the 7th October 2014 2:00pm and generally concerns the Soundness of the Revised Development Plan. The Trust has been refused to deliver its Consultation at this despite evidence being presented to the Program Officers that this Revised Development Management Plan is unsound. Eight points of concern have been given and all have been ignored to-date.


Robert Tressel would be ashamed.

This area Speckled Wood was given to the public in 1930 do not let them take it away from you  for their own greed. This is a Public Space. Nothing to date has took this away . This Development Management Plan will do this.

The full hearing is scheduled 18th November 2014.

The Trust is very unhappy with this process and is publicly disclaiming it as a sham . Their hard work in 2012 and 2014 has been ignored by the Council and their entourage.  Country File and the News have been contacted but nothing seems to be being done. This is disgusting we strongly ask you to "RISE UP" and fight this debacle before it is to late.

The Council has a 18 year plan to build on just about every Green Space in Hastings you have been warned.

The Trust and the local residents all use the Village Green regularly . This is now the second time the Trust has to maintain this land  in less than a month.  The Green looks like a Village Green again now and the Seagulls have taken up occupancy.

The local resident said " Its lovely to see someone cutting it who doesnt want to build on it "
