Before all the consultation has even finished STEVE DRING had already decided what was needed. BUT perhaps people like second home owners driving up the value of their property. Perhaps they prefer to drive their own car to go shopping, and if Tesco was a little nearer (say just outside Wareham) that would be better?

Slightly different interpretation.

After the 'rabble rousing' question/statement from a certain temporary resident about those 'nasty' 2nd home owners, Steve read the mood of the crowd and adjusted his stance so that he didn't end up in a 'war'.

It's nice when evidence turns up so quickly!

I went to last night's SRA meeting to talk about such things. As I posted above, a certain person 'roused the rabble' and diverted what could have been a constructive meeting into a blame, blame, moan, moan, 'it's not fair' type of thing.

Many things, but esp. Planning are changing.

If PDC turn an application down and the developer appeals, the developer is likely to win.

Stop moaning, accept that if there is no action then Purbeck is going to become a developers dream.

Houses will be built, we need to do our best to make sure that we have some control.

Steve may have misled slightly, although it's not a area of his expertise, Housing Assoc houses are still prone to 'Right to Acquire'.

Go see purbeckhousingaction.co.uk

It'll take you hours to read all of it, but some want to see the housing issue controlled by the residents.

358 members, about 5 of them post regularly - what are the other 353 doing?

Moaning?
