END OF YEAR REVIEW

A meeting of the Save Our Seafront committee was held last night to discuss the progress of the fight to preserve the Borough’s coastline. The public petition exercises were analyzed and found to be a resounding success, with thousands of people signing the petition to oppose the plans to allow Tavistock to build a hotel on the site of the Stadium.

Whilst we will continue to consult the public (something the Council refuse to do) 2008 will see a new and novel programme of opposition to the development. If the Council thought the fight would die a death, they are very, very wrong. Campaigners, thanks to public backing, are now more motivated than ever.

This may be the last post this year, so on behalf of all those involved, thank you for your unanimous support. Keep writing those letters to the Shields Gazette and remember to let your own ward councillors know that you are against the campaign and that you want them to reflect your views.

Don’t forget to visit the site regularly, as campaign programmes will be highlighted here first.

Have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Recharge your batteries for 2008, because that’s when the fight really begins!
