The post you are reporting:
Yes Phil, both Lara and I did speak out opposing the latest scheme for Western Heights at the Dover Society AGM last Monday - of note this was the last meeting of the Dover Society before the summer recess.
I also agree, Derek (Leach) the Chairman also stated that the stance was to await the final plans - that will be published before the Society next convenes.
In the meantime, that D Society Executive will, no doubt, act on behalf of the members.
What concerns me, as an opponent to the scheme, is that unlike the past, where the Society has been in consultation with councillors, councillors are now part of the Executive.
It is no secret that DDC/DTC councillors want the development to go ahead. Indeed, DDC have set aside £20,000 to pay for legal fees and advice on the HANDOVER of land on Western Heights!
In other words, DDC councillors are giving away our Heritage and charging us council taxpayers for the right to do so.
To add insult to injury, our Amenity Society, whom we should rely to fight for our Heritage, in this case, is unlikely to.
