The post you are reporting:
I think that the Whitfield urbanisation plan is a political case. New Labour, the last government, gave dispositions for such developments all over England to accomodate immigration. They trod down any democratic opposition to the scheme, nation-wide. Evidently, DDC was more than happy to accomodate the last government's plans, and probably made an application to be among the districts that have new housing estates. At least this is what I immagine they did.
If this really were a case of 'you can't do anything about it', as Paul Watkins stated, there is really only one carrying argumentation I can offer: UKIP is committed to Swiss style Democracy on important national and local issues, and this will be a major theme at the coming Council elections.
However, I still will endeaver to find out whether the Community of Whitfield wanted that building-scheme or not. People will realise, when the time comes for campaigning, that to vote UKIP candidates will mean voting for people who would respect the democratic will on local important issues.
Ultimately, the people will decide which candidates to vote for, but this does not mean that people cannot even now oppose the Whitfield building-scheme by writing individual or collective representations to DDC. I believe that it is common practise for this to happen.
Mr. Watkins, I assume you have published in the local press the notification of the consultation period for the Whitfield masterplan! And that you have stated which community is eligable to consult.
I still have not understood from Roger's Delphic reply whether it is only the Whitfield Community or all Dover Community, or indeed the whole of Dover District!
