We have been bombarded by angry residents complaining that the Core Strategy Review has never been publicised by Folkestone & Hythe District Council. It’s true that there has, to our knowledge, been no meaningful consultation or presentation relating to the future of our area. Is the attempted sprawling urbanisation being pushed through under our radar? And why aren’t our Councillors representing the residents views. Moreover, the Cabinet Member for Communities is our very own Jennifer Hollingsbee. Is she a fraud? Is she and her Council colleagues operating to their own hidden agendas?
- Cllr. Hollingsbee.
Have these representatives of the local people forgotten that part of their remit is to take care of our local environment and the people who live in it. In the words of the song what are they doing to England’s Green and Pleasant Land? Looking at the various plans one can’t help feeling that soon there will not be much green rather concrete and brick. Is this really what is to become of the Garden of England? I appreciate people need to have homes but they also require the amenities ( schools, doctors, shops, and decent roads which are able to take the extra number of vehicles that will be using them.) Local people have put up with so much already. Are the local reps so blinded by the financial aspects of all this building that they have forgotten why they decided to become councillors? Have they really thought things through or do they feel when the next big problem occurs others will deal with it? Remember “operation stack” that caused so much extra work for the police or are the in situations where they will not be caused any problems?
