I hope we'll get some peace now.
In a nutshell, Hebden made the BBC news today; rather surprisingly, I thought, because when they weren't arguing about it in the local paper, everyone was screaming "fix!" "fix!" and expecting to see the builders move in at any moment. Got all that? Read on...
I'm not a resident of that part of Hebden, but I am relieved it's been rejected because we don't need it; as Susan Press (our mayor, by the way!) says, it's the wrong time. Why do we need new shops when there's almost an entire row of them lying empty because no one can be bothered to walk to 'the far side' of Hebden to buy things? And I don't think ANYWHERE needs any more expensive flats [as a side note - they seem to be building them EVERYWHERE!?].
And anyway, should we even be considering such things when Wall Street is in such a mess - everyone knows America rules the world, so it's not really going to be fun for anyone?

Glad to hear that it has been turned down. Apparently a local developer has gone direct to the govt to get approval to build something in Swindon that has a lot of people hot under the collar - just by bypassing the local system they're only going to make things worse!
