Spokesman Graham Hunt increased the profile of the campaign this morning with a very clear and clinical criticism of the council's proposals on the BBC Radio Newcastle Mike Parr Breakfast programme.
The council spokesman floundered and was forced to say that the current proposal for a grass roof for the five storey development may change post planning. He avoided the question of locating the development on another site, preferably a brownfield site and sidestepped the point as to which members of the public had been consulted, claiming that there had beed widespread consultation.
The absence of politicians supporting the proposals was significant. Normally they would be champing at the bit but perhaps they have had a shock at the level and speed of opposition.
The intention is now to maximise the profile of the campaign and get as many signatures as possible on the petition which can be signed online (see top right of blog) or a version can be sent by e-mail to print off and hand round.
With the Great North Run finishing line being yards away from the proposed development we are sure that everyone taking part in the event will want to continue to enjoy the uniterrupted views up the coast rather than a concrete desecration of the beautiful coastline.
Simply e-mail Graham Hunt for more details and a petition form ... huntghuk@hotmail.com
