@Woodcock Alternative SANGS - the issue as far as I am concerned re Warren Farm is that Richard Weeks has made it clear to TDC that he has no wish to sell his land. It may be that another farmer or 'farmer' some where else may not have that problem. Or indeed that alternative SANGS land is land that is not used for farming (is the land around Langdon Hospital used for farming?) or that ...
I scan read the TDC online info concerning tendering. I was getting bored with it all and like I said I scan read it but I'm pretty certain it said, somewhere, that unsuccessful tenderers would not only be informed that they were unsuccessful but also why. So if I am correct in that, Bob B should have been informed why his tender was unsuccessful (which doesn't help him at all I know, but ...
@flo b) means, as I understand it, that the proposed community centre which is scheduled to be built somewhere within the new build housing developments will now be scrapped and instead it is proposed that money to the tune of £1000 per new dwelling will be provided by all the developers towards keeping the Red Rock Centre going.

Blimey what sort of council ...
I do not know the way people voted, or why, any more than you do. All I know is that the two Lib Dem candidates (who are now two Lib Dem town councillors) , vote wise, appear to have swum against the electoral tide. @All - anyone still reading this extremely long thread? I'd be amazed if you are.

Yes, the Lib Dems were annihilated at the last election. But........ even with that tide (a tsunami some might say) of anti Lib Dem sentiment amongst the electorate in May, two people standing under Lib Dem colours nontheless got elected to the town council. (and the same two didn't do too badly, vote wise, in the district elections either).
@Roberta - Good PR then? (their threatening to sue you). I see there are threads on EoD about the carnival.
In a post of mine a few days back I mentioned the need for bungalows in the new developments. Te dah! Here's one (don't know how many more there will though) http://www.rightmove.co.uk/new-homes-for-sale/property-49862092.html
This business about 'complicated financial arrangements between landowners' and 'gentlemen's agreements' with the developers (see today's Gazette report page 32). Just wondered if the names of these landowners and developers are in the public domain?
