We have 260 signatures from both the online petition and from the hard work Maria has put in walking around the streets. The feedback has been that our community has no desire to see a prime double fronted shop turned into a bookies.
However whilst we have been concentrating on stopping a licence being granted by the magistrate's we all totally missed the planning notice further down the road which expired on the 30th January. We contacted the council planners and they said we could have until the end of the week to make our voices and views heard. So please go online to object by clicking here

Apparently the planning committee is more likely to take the emotive views of the community in an area earmarked for regeneration than the magistrate's, where unless we can prove lack of demand our chances are slim with out legal representation.
Please forward this on to all those concerned.
Watch this space for some more interesting news coming shortly about fun things!
