The seventh email distribution of news regarding the proposed Lorry Park on the Aldington-Smeeth borders

Welcome to the seventh email distribution of news regarding the proposed Lorry Park on the Aldington-Smeeth borders.

Dear All,

I have learnt that yesterday KCC stated at a KCC committee meeting open to the public that they had missed the window of opportunity this year for carrying out an Environmental Impact Assessment. They say that therefore a formal planning application is unlikely to be published until mid 2009.

This delay whilst highly regrettable in that it extends the period of blight on the communities affected does, I hope, give KCC the opportunity to have a thorough and open review of all the options available for dealing with the undoubted problems of both Operation Stack and overnight lorry parking. It also provides the ideal opportunity to conduct the pre-application public consultation previously mooted by KCC, but never implemented.

Thank you all for your continuing support.

Regards,

Peter
