  The localism bill was briefly presented in This Is Kent online recently, and I think there was a meeting about a week or so ago in St. Mary's Parish for the public.
  It seems to be a Tory success move, as it is a bases for introducing more local administration and management of finances, and more local decision-making. Something I too have been advocating since I joined the Forum.
  
  As for the planning decisions of DDC, which Vic mentioned, we have Tory Charlie Elphicke MP making valid points and doing something to represent and uphold the opinion of the great public at large!
  Hopefully, an agreement can be reached that can modify planning so that we only get new streets edified when the local people need them, including our future generations.
  
  I think many people would be happy if DDC was prepared to take the planning issue for Whitfield and Deal up again, and give it proper thought, also in view of the public's opinions. But at least Mr. Elphicke is doing something that gives us hope.
  
  Tonight I shall start reading Ray Newsam's link on the localism bill.
