Town Meeting 28 August


Further to my post of 8 August there is to be a Town Meeting about the prospect of Compulsory Purchase order for the Rec Land on the Boston Road. This also relates to the comments made in 2011!

The agenda is at the Town Council Opening page! This may change. 

However there are one or two concerns but here are the facts:

  • 1            The Town Council voted twice (two years ago) not to sell the land!
  • 2.           It now has Fields in Trust Status.

Town Polls related to the land, and to the closure of the Station gates, have resulted in massive majorities against the schemes.

To my knowledge only the Councillors, of the Town Council, can reverse those decision based on their own judgement. The wording of the agenda on Wednesday does not mention that so I hope these facts will, once-again, be explained. Unless someone else sees a different legal scenario that I am not aware of!
