Yesterday, a petition was handed into the District Council:
Plans for Port Royal: an alternative view: a new campaign: an online petition > The '3Rs' vision to "retain, refurbish and reuse" > delivering petition to full District Council: Wednesday 25th October
And this petition had garnered considerable support:
1,800-signature petition backing ‘alternative’ vision for Port Royal handed to Sidmouth Town Council - Latest Sidmouth and Ottery News - Sidmouth Herald
Here's a report from the Save Our Sidmouth blog:
Port Royal latest: 3Rs petition delivered to EDDC Full Council this evening
October 25, 2017 by sidmouthsid 1 Comment
The petition has now been delivered to both Councils jointly conducting the Scoping Study for Port Royal’s future. Sidmouth Town Council acknowledged receipt of it on 4th September 2017. And this evening, it was delivered to East Devon District Full Council.
The fact that 1,900 people signed the petition, indicates that strong opinion about the open aspect of the Port Royal site is held by the town’s essential visitors as much as by local residents. Importantly, as Councillor Marianne Rixson said in her speech to her fellow councillors this evening, this petition underpins the responses of the Neighbourhood Plan Port Royal Survey and the public consultation.
The 3Rs campaign was launched at a Public Meeting in August. It is summarised in the slide presentations …see link to them 23 Aug Final Slides at the end of our earlier post, here:
