Great to see so many plotholders at the public meeting!

Great to see so many plotholders at the public meeting! Some of us were difficult to recognise when scrubbed up, minus wellies and not in working gear! We had so many concerned residents attending that we could not all fit in the hall. Politicians present had great difficulty in maintaining their position of housing at any cost. The one unequivocable supporter of our stance was John Pletts of the Green Party. We now have over 300 signatures on the petition and will hand this in to the GBC offices at Millmead on Monday 14th August at 11am. GBC, the press and the police have been informed. It will only take 10 minutes so if you can come along please do!
PUBLIC MEEETING AT ST MARY’S CHURCH HALL, ALDERSHOT RD, GUILDFORD ON WEDNESDAY 9TH AUGUST,7.30 to 8.30 pm. Please come along and sign our petition objecting to GBC’s ’strategy’ to avoid the ban on development of open space such as our site. This ban is rightly in place to protect the biodiversity of the Special Protection Area of Whitmoor Common. We are within 2km of Whitmoor and development on our site would affect the rare birds whose habitat it is. Please spare an hour of your time or, if you can’t come please write and object to Mark Dickson, Planning Policy Manager, Guildford Borough Council, GU2 4BB.
Just a reminder to newcomers and those who weren’t at the last WASHA meeting:- The fruit on plots 82, 84, 85 and 86 is for everyone to share. At present there are apricots ripe and some soft fruit left. There is a good crop of damsons which are still unripe and there will be plums and apples later.
Welcome to Carolyn who has taken on plot 29 which will need a lot of work. We hope to give you some help when the dry weather breaks. Welcome also to Sally on plot 30. This is also a difficult plot but we’re here to help. It’s not so long ago that all three plots 28, 29 and 30 were a giant bramble patch!
