Earlier this year I think it was, the town council asked for suggestions for where new benches might be sited in the town. I know I suggested (and I don't think I was the only one) that a bench should be sited on the higher part of Sandy Lane Playing Fields so to enjoy the lovely view.

This will see us build at least a million more homes over the next parliament"

Cofton CHP have withdrawn the application. Seems two planning policies at TDC were contradicting each other. (The expansion and promotion of better holiday facilities vs the preservation of the Undeveloped Coast.)
