LETTER: Plan could have been defeated
Deputy leader and councillor for Roffey South, Helena Croft, is reported as saying in the council meeting on the Proposed Strategy (April 30) ‘...I cannot stop the development and regretfully supporting the plan puts me in a better position to minimise the impacts and maximise the benefits’.
I fail to understand Mrs Croft’s hopelessness. When the vote was taken there were 40 councillors present and so a simple majority of 21 was all that was needed to defeat Claire Vickers’ and Ray Dawe’s plan.
