  Residents in St Martin’s Road Guston received a letter from the Department of Transport on October 27 informing them that a site near them was being considered for an Inland Border Freight facility under an SDO (Special Development Order) which can speed up the process. It took further correspondence with the DfT to obtain a site map. The facility has the capacity for 1200 vehicles. This is not an unused industrial site - it is currently used as farm land. Residents and the Parish Council have been seeking information but requests have largely been ignored. Despite repeated emails from residents out MP has so far not responded to their legitimate enquiries. This is the latest in a series of proposals that this small community has fought, remember the proposal to build a prison on the Burgoyne Heights site? Exploratory bore hole drilling in the centre of the village? Numerous solar parks (Guston now has one small site). DDC should not underestimate the strength of feeling concerning this latest plan. The residents of Guston will fight this vigorously . If allowed to proceed Dover will be gridlocked. Getting through the Jubilee Way roundabout will be a nightmare. If you wish to view a site map please look on Guston Parish Council website.
