I have skimmed this thread quickly. Cllr Wayne Haywood of the Mole DC appeared on BBC Morning news last week - he was totallly supportive of this SSAFA facility and argued the case as to why it is likely to be a 7 bed property so close to the hospital 9and notwithstanding the argumenst of the NIMBYs). I got the impression that the Council were mainly in favour too and that is why he had been asked to appear on TV. You will also wish to know that he is a recently retired Gp Capt and all round great bloke who I have little doubt will support this to the hilt - he kept his cards very close to his chest tho at intereview and did not reveal his recent retirement from the RAF.
