Dear Residents,
Here is a list of 4 'so called' consultations that Shepway Council are calling 'Community engagements': THEY ARE NEITHER.
This is a development that is not wanted or required by local people to meet local needs. We already have a system in place called a 'local plan', 'core strategy' and 'people and places' that deals with housing requirement. Of that approximate 8000 quantity we want to hear from SDC that at least 30% of those will be affordable and hopefully for our younger local residents.
Please go along to at least one of these events but we would urge you all NOT TO ENGAGE in this 'so called' consultation because if you do, you will be validating this WHOLE fiasco. DON'T ASK FOR A BYPASS, DON'T ASK FOR MEDICAL CENTRES, PARKS, SKATEBOARD PARKS OR ANYTHING THAT WILL BE TWISTED (and it surely will be) INTO A LEVEL OF SUPPORT FOR A TOWN THAT IS NOT REQUIRED LOCALLY.
We ask you take along the thickest black marker pen you can find and simply write WHY: Why do we need it, Why did SDC ask for it, Why do our rural communities deserve it, Why are our 'so called' representatives supporting it against our wishes, Why, Why, Why or simply write: NO TO OTTERPOOL TOWN,
