Well maybe its the vast amount of stable and horse owners in the area, the ones who wanted a tro on boat 116 or the awpa with its 40 complaints

The may even be the same horse riders that are currently "overloading" Grays Lane...

I may be less cynical than the rest of you, but I suspect it is more just people going on to sign our petition who see that one whilst there and think "oh. I'll add my name to that one too." Of course, someone with too much time on their hands could verify this by checking the lists of recent signatories side by side!

The Next Big Push


Ladies and Gentleman, as previously mentioned, we now need your letters of support to go directly to the members of the committee directly, who will be meeting on Wednesday to discuss this.


Please make sure your letters deal with the objections only


This isn't the time to bang on about Kipling and sacrifice. We know these things, we know why we're doing it. With nearly 35000 signatures on the petition, they know why we're doing it too.

But in that meeting room, they will only consider the FACTS

To this end, I need you to e-mail the members of the committee detailed below, with an email that deals with each of the objections in tow. By all means repeat your letters to all members of the Committee , but it must be factual, crisp and unemotional.

The members who will be sitting on the committee are

The list of main objections has been done somewhere, and I'll append it to this post when found.


We must now have as many letters demolishing the objections, in a short, concise and factual way as possible. This is our chance to help influence the outcome, not through emotion, but by reasoned and factual argument.

Weight of fire wins the fight, but let's make sure the fire is accurate and in the right direction.

Write your letters, then c.c. all to the Councillors.

Think carefully and review before you send "Have I answered the objections"


Ok, let's do it. As soon as you have , just bump the thread to say "sent"

Can any of you boffins put the link up to the Letters of Representation again? (for speed of reference).

You are quite right I hadn't noticed the height of the columns above that which was showing in the window
That's two clangers I've dropped today

may be less cynical than the rest of you, but I suspect it is more just people going on to sign our petition who see that one whilst there and think "oh. I'll add my name to that one too." Of course, someone with too much time on their hands could verify this by checking the lists of recent signatories side by side!

Well wish people would do the same for my battle of Britain petition :D

PTP,

Any chance those e-mail addresses can have the spaces taken out, that way we can just copy and paste into the e-mail address box?

Cheers

Done.

PTP,

Could you clarify? Do we email the lot of them, or just the ones in bold?

Thanks.

It's the anti-spam script FF.

If you cut and paste into word, it should re-appear as normal spacing.

Email the lot please Kermit.

The ones in Bold, are either the guys in charge, or Leaders of groups.
