IN THE FACE OF CYNICISM


Further to my post on 19 Dec 2008 re Petticoat Lane.......

Despite the cynicism expressed by some in response, and in the face of a 6:5 vote (and 1 abstention) by Newport Parish Council on Monday NOT to make representations opposing the Diversion Order, Jackie Hawkins has managed to get 115 representations against this Order - including Age Concern, Voices for Older People, Friends of the Earth, the Campaign to Protect Rural England, and Places for People.

The sort of a campaigner I have time for. An optimist who does not want to just look after number one.

Proof that we have too many people with time on their hands to oppose anything and everything that might be of benefit to the silent majority.

Fact; Not one single little birdie would suffer if this path were diverted.

It's sheer dogma. Let's hope the planners ignore these petty people.
