If you read our letter carefully you would see that we are demanding a broad range of environmental mitigation for the site including high levels of insulation, micro-generation, water re-use technologies, the facilitation of improved public transport to and from the site and safe cycling and walking. We have also asked for more trees to be planted and the rpovisions of community allotments. No one else has been asking for this.

None of the councillors has spoken up, Interesting to note that the Environment Agency is all over Stone Hill Park's planning application recommending restrictions and controls to protest the aquifer. Funny how they didn't do anything to protect the aquifer from Wiggins, Thor or Sericol.

I have no doubt that Mr. Green would try to defend himself by pointing out that, whilst he was a member of the administration which did all of these things, he didn't necessarily agree with all of them. However, I'm afraid he has to take collective responsibility for the disastrous administrations he served in and the massive damage they have done to the area.
