The post you are reporting:
At the meeting, I found that numerous participants from Braddon had no idea of the Western Heights Preservation Society, nor what it stood for.
When I explained that WHPS is backing the DDC and CGI plans to build on W.H. and Farthingloe, people asked why they were not standing up for preserving these areas instead.
As far as I could discern, there was total disagreement on the part of the participants with the CGI representative.
Lara will no doubt give an official update with any specifications.
Meanwhile, a number of us have assigned ourselves the duty to gather support in opposing the development plans.
The discussion centred on the planned houses on Western Heights and Farthingloe, and a planned hotel and a planned conference centre.
The WW memorial, as I could gather from my corner, was not discussed, unless Lara can confirm otherwise, as there were many people in different rooms.
As far as I could gather, the public consultation on these building projects has already passed. Some of us were quite taken aback at this news.
Again, Lara and Lorraine may specify with more precise details.
Another point raised by one member, was that DDC claimed that a survey showed that 63% of the Dover District population support the building project on Western Heights and Farthingloe. The basis being, that 100 people commented on a CGI website, of which 63% were in favour.
A member noted that he has complained to a press commission about this, as it is totally misleading and bias information.
I pointed out that, when searching for the survey on the CGI website after coming to knowledge on Dover Forum of the said survey, and after the local press had printed DDC's claim, I could not find the survey and therefore could not comment.
For now I won't give any information of a more confidential nature, but can assure you that things are moving ahead swiftly both on the part of DDC to ram this project through, and on our part to oppose it.
