It seems that EASTBOURNE has a new name because of the amount of housing estates that are going to be built. It has been mooted by several residents in Eastbourne and Willingdon that members of both Councils, and this has been alleged, that EASTBOURNE BOROUGH COUNCIL & EAST SUSSEX COUNTY COUNCIL are easily persuaded to look the other way when it comes to new housing sites.
The Martello area is steeped in history and goes back to SAXON TIMES and then to the NAPOLEONIC ERA and the MARTELLO TOWERS were built as a defence against ENGLANDS FOE.
Having viewed from the air the piece of land that is proposed to be built upon, I always thought the law stated that buildings can’t be built when there are two roads parallel with the site and believe it or not footpaths are termed as roads as per EAST SUSSEX COUNTY COUNCIL. I know this personally because ESCC viewed my property when I wanted to build a Summerhouse in my garden and I was informed that the footpath at the rear of my garden wasn’t a footpath, but a road, even though you would find it impossible even to ride a bike up to the Downs. The park is riddled with footpaths and how they are going to build their flats and houses is going to be a trial. Notwithstanding it is a certainty that the area will become flooded however much they prepare the site. It is also a natural haven of many species of wild birds, flowers and animals.
There are other pointers to take into consideration as the people who live in that area and further afield use the park for exercising the dog, cat or whatever and this includes persons in wheelchairs who enjoy the sanctity of what the park offers and also flat paths. Those in charge seem to take other persons’ enjoyment away because of personal monetary gain.
There are several areas in Eastbourne and Willingdon that have been earmarked for new houses and not much thought by those in charge of Eastbourne and Willingdon’s growth when it comes to commonsense and they are ruining the countryside that people expect to find when they come down to visit EASTBOURNE for their summer holiday.
ABERDEEN was known as THE GRANITE CITY many years ago, but only because the buildings were made of granite and not because the local Council were ruining the countryside. Perhaps Eastbourne will be known as THE BRICKLAYERS ARMS!!!
FREEDOM OF SPEECH – Not on your Nellie!
Why is David Cameron of the Comic Party visiting many Towns and Cities in England scaremongering people that coming out of the EU would be disastrous in every aspect? There must be some excellent pros and cons on why we should stay IN OR OUT and in June the chance for persons to make their own personal decision should not be marred by other people putting on the frighteners just to suit their own decision. It just goes to show how people can be so nasty about important issues and if you are against the Prime Minister’s decision that we must stay in at all costs, woe to those that are in the firing line who disagree.
