LORRY PARK ONLINE PETITION

Dear Residents,

The Stanford action Group, SOS KENT,  has teamed up with '38 Degrees' to create an online petition. 
We would urge ALL of our Residents to sign the petition to stop the concreting over of 152 acres of good arable farmland causing massive environmental degradation of our area.
Simply type into your search engine: '38 degrees Lorry Park'. If we are to win this battle we must all pull together and not leave it to others.

Tune into ITV local news at 6.25pm today (Monday)  for a 'Lorry Park' media update.


Les Barratt, Co Chairman S&DRA.

Lorry Park Site Selection

GOSE and KCC site selection table shows Stanford area as being unsuitable as a lorry park due to the site being situated within a SLA and AONB area. The site is also a designated SSSI site and an area of ancient woodland.

LORRY PARK UPDATE.

Dear Residents,

For all of you that visited the Lorry Park exhibition last Saturday,12th and Monday,14th December and thought that it lacked clarity and detail, you weren't alone.
Even the map on Damian Collins' website has been altered dramatically to now show an area that we think could be the planned footprint. This exhibition has been thrown together purely as a political knee jerk reaction to solve the problem of operation stack, but with 7-10,000 lorry movements per day, you don't have to be a genius to work out that lorries will still be stacked on the M20 even when the 4000 lorry park is full.

Our neighbouring Parish and friends at Stanford have already set up an opposition group with the Parish Council leading the way in promoting further consultations with Highways England and other statutory bodies to find a more sympathetic solution other than destroying Residents lives and our beautiful countryside. So far, Monks Horton Parish Meeting have thrown their weight behind the Stanford action group as well as the Sellindge & District Residents Association. It looks as if many other Parishes are set to join the campaign.

Your MP, Damian Collins is supporting the 152 acre (76 Football pitches) lorry park scheme as set out by Highways England, taken from a brief from central Government.  I wonder if he would be taking this stance if this constituency was 'marginal' or in a 'run up' to an election - We don't think so.

A public meeting has been arranged with Mr. Collins at Westenhanger Castle, Friday 22nd January at 7.30pm. Please set this date in your diaries. For all of you who would like to ask question(s) or make your views known, the Chairman of Stanford Parish Council, Matthew Webb, has asked that you contact him with details or points to be raised: mattywebb69@gmail.com

As time is of the essence, I would urge you all to make your protestations known by writing to Damian Collins MP, House of Commons, London SW1 OAA. or by emailing him at damian.collins.mp@parliament.uk
If you prefer facebook, Mr. Collins has a blog on his website where others have made their views known.

Please expect more postings on this ever changing campaign at frequent intervals.
