  The signs were far better spread than normal, even Aycliffe got remembered and was well covered.
  
  The speaker from the Protect Rural England Campaign spoke well and passionately but was also misleading on a lot of things. the local plans (Development Frameworks) are always noted as being 'flexible' and changes in circumstances, or opportunities, have to be taken into consideration. He also spoke about developers just wanting to make money, well there's a huge surprise, and preferring to build rather than restore old property. When I spoke to him he was not sure if their 'head office' were looking at the VAT laws that make it more profitable to build new than to restore.
  
  Another speaker got very passionate about the roads and stated that CGI had paid no attention to them. Going through the plans I counted over 800 pages devoted to transport, complete with suggested improvements to junctions and proposals to take to Stagecoach for the bus routes.
  
  It was nice to meet Lara and get the chance to catch up with her lovely mother.
