Sidford business park >>> campaign group's second update

The group campaigning against the proposed industrial estate at Sidford have got a new look to their Facebook pages:

Say NO to Sidford Business Park - Home | Facebook

This is the painting of Sidford fields, as raffled at this week's public meeting - and as referred to in the latest email update from the group: 

Campaign update no. 2

We are now able to provide the link to Marianne Rixson's powerpoint presentation - .http://futuresforumvgs.blogspot.com/2018/06/sidford-business-park-how-to-comment-on.html.

At the public meeting we raffled an unframed painting of the proposed business park site, showing how it is today. Thank you to everyone who bought raffle tickets. It helped raise much needed funds for the campaign. The winning raffle ticket number was 61. If that ticket was yours then please contact us and we will arrange for you to receive the painting.

So many of you who attended the meeting were generous and we were able to raise the magnificent sum of £523.17 towards the campaign's costs! Whilst this is very helpful, it may be that we have to ask for further donations, particularly if we need to undertake a professional traffic survey to submit to East Devon District Council as part of its consideration of the planning application.

A number of you offered to get involved with the Steering Group. Unfortunately, we won't be able to contact you until early next week. It's not because we don't want your help; but rather there just isn't enough time to do this over the weekend!

Please show your opposition to the planning application by displaying a poster in your window. We have attached two versions of a poster. One is in colour and one is black and white. Please print one (or more) and display it. If you can, please also print one (or more) and offer it to a friend or neighbour. 

The campaign now has a Twitter account - SayNOtoSidfordBusiness Park. If you are on Twitter please follow this and retweet its tweets. This is another way that we can reach the widest possible audience.

We understand that not everyone uses email, Facebook or Twitter and so one of the early discussions that the Steering Group will need to have is how best to engage with people locally who use none of these mediums. Already one suggestion has been to get up a petition and to go directly door to door obtaining signatures. Watch this space!

If you want to look at the full details of the planning application for the business park this link will take you directly to it:

Have a good weekend
