The devious idiots at Medway Council are still trying to close EGTO and put up another under-utilised business park.
This time, they're ignoring the recommendations of the planning inspector and trying to slip modifications into the local plan without proper consultation - they're even limiting the dispersal of the forms which are required for lodging objections, and these objections *have* to be in by 27th November (so they need to be in the post by the 24th).

.....has all you need.
Basically, there are 5 modifications which (if passed) sound the death knell of this historic airfield. On the site given above there are suggested forms of words to object to each, all laid out on the official form for you in MS word documents. All you've got to do is choose which ones you can most heartily agree with, print 'em, sign 'em, and post em'.
It's easy to do, but not trivial.
If you do this small thing, you are taking an active part in a campaign and you are standing up to be counted. Just because somebody else has written the words doesn't negate their effect - it's *your* name, and *your* signature at the bottom.
I've been in 3 of the meetings that this council held on the way to getting Rochester's death sentence written - the 'anti' councillors were outraged that people cared enough to write letters to them, and the 'pro' councillors were very fortified by them.
They were being moved and influenced by a few tens of letters - your submissions WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Your un-backed up intentions won't......
