Dear Residents,
Our friends at Shepwayvox have been profiling a member of the inner cabal at SDC. An interesting history. Please remember that the land purchased from Champney was purchased for the sole intention, as stated by SDC for an income stream from tenanted farmers. The thought of building a New Town never crossed their minds until shortly afterwards. So why was Susan Priest attending meetings as set out below prior to the land purchase??
Moreover, would Susan Priest be affected by the Lorry Park or Bonkersville? - We don't think so. She doesn't even live in Shepway.
