Last month S&DRA conducted a simple online survey to assess the level of support for the proposed Lorry park. Overwhelmingly, Sellindge residents voted to oppose the Highways England proposals, but Sellindge Parish Council supported it. In a recent PC meeting the subject of the online survey was raised by a resident only to be met with the claim of disbelief from Chairman Bull. Where are the emails? he exclaimed.
In this months Sellindge Village News ( a PC publication), a survey is being carried out to assess how many residents actually agree with the Parish Council view that a lorry park be built. What's the point I hear you all ask when Sellindge Parish Council have already submitted the HE questionnaire and stated quite clearly that they represent the residents of Sellindge.
Isn't this a case of Sellindge PC working in reverse? Yes of course it is. Why? We assume that this is an exercise in giving Sellindge PC a vote of confidence to carry on their good work for the residents of Sellindge. So if you can understand the logic and reasoning of your PC in supporting the construction of the largest lorry Park in the world on your doorstep and also believe that Lorry traffic will increase through Sellindge Village and further believe that this is the one and only issue that should be considered when making a judgement to build the Lorry park, one would assume that you support your PC and therefore tick the upper box. If on the other hand you agree with Monks Horton, Stowting, Stanford, Lympne, Postling, CPRE and S&DRA, all opposing the HE Proposal, then a tick in the lower box would be in order. Either way, please have your say. It's your Village.
