Owners do not appear in any hurry to sell.
Simon Flatt to speak on slides
Many ideas have been suggested. We are aware of several current opportunities & introduced to owners and planning.
There had been significant pressure to find a solution at various times. Public opinion and the opportunity to lift the town’s economy and amenity are as strong as ever. Currently we are at an impasse and need fresh pressure from councillors to take this forward. The community will have an opportunity to consider and through a Neighbourhood Plan should have new powers to focus attention and effort as new legislation becomes effective during 2012.
