Nick Gibb at Garage Compound
Sat 14th March 2009
Nick Gibb our local MP showed his support for our association by joining in a protest at a garage compound that Places for People want to demolish.
Along with aprox 50 members who showed up with banners and notices to show their support for our residents association, there was a mixture of all ages who attended this protest, from toddlers to pensioners, house owners and tenants, but all agreed that there should be no infill building allowed on the garage compounds, or the Allotments and no cars on the grass areas, grass areas to be left alone and the landscape to be left as originally planned.
Nick Gibb spoke to all present and said that he and members of WFRA committee had a meeting with represenatives of Places for People on the previous day 13th March 2009 and that it was made clear that there was to be no building on our allotments and all we wanted from Places for People was CONSULTATION NOT CONFRONTATION
The Local Press "Bognor Observer" sent their reporter Kevin Smith and a Photographer to record the deep feeling of the residents who are against Places for People deciding to infill without proper consultation. Please see the link.
Below are some Photos taken by John at the Garage Compound other photo's taken by the Observer photographer are available through the Observer.
