Ha! That's why I'm on the ground, telling pilots where to go!!!! :p

Car with towbar and driver at your disposal - just let me know. :E I too have no words to express my disgust.

Petition signed, Email sent to MP and support & attachment sent to Mole Valley D.C. Just couldn't do this until now as too incensed at this very "home counties" attitude to our armed forces and their families! Apologies to those who don't subscribe to this poisonous philosophy and do live in the Home Counties! What with the "slip the uniform off please as we don't wish to offend" reception at Selly Oak, and the Nimbies at Ashstead, it is surely time to lay it on the line to the great British Public. You may not like Iraq and Afghanistan being on the news every night, but how much more uncomfortable for you if you had to be there risking your life, or worse still worried sick about your loved one who is doing just that!
That feels better! Thanks to Gonzo and Rocket Chucker for inspiration and some plagiarism on my part. Thanks also to Tigs2 for calming us all down and making us keep our eye on the ball. Finally thanks to SSAFA for being there for our lads and lasses, and their families! :ok:

Interesting Facts
 

Councillor David Howell Lives very close He is a member of the buildings committee!!
or
Cllr Bryan Davis Also lives very close and is part of the "Development Control and Policy Committees" !!
One could infer from this what they might, have their nearest and dearest neighbours raised objections?

I've just had a nose around the area via Google Earth thanks to cargosales' excellent recce.

It makes me feel physically sick to think that anyone can be worried about residential noise.

I would have thought the noise from Heathrow's DVR and DET departures from 27L/R (which recently have gone on until 2330 local and are usually heavily laden 747s and A340s) would have made a lot more noise than a handful of concerned service families as they pass over the Epsom NDB nearby...... :ugh::ugh::ugh:

The committee meeting on August 1st. Is this a public meeting where the public can attend?

Pop
Our understanding at the moment is that it is.

Damn, I'm working a morning shift. Any idea when it starts?

Please put your name on this petition:

Gonzo
7-7.30pm I will confirm and get back to you

Well, if so then I'll be there.:ok:

CARGO SALES - What a complete star
 

Well done mate, first class recce. :D:D:D

I think that this exercise is going to prove to the good burgers of Ashtead how a determined band of brothers (and sisters - OK don't labour the point Stan) can strive to accomplish a mission that is just and fair.

Keep it going, we'll get there.

Per Ardua

Also signed, letter being done.

Cracking idea!. If anyone lives within a reasonable distance of Ashtead and would like to volunteer for a leaflet posting session on say Wed or Thurs evening next week, let me know and I will co-ordinate with Moody Bitch on AARSE.

Gonzo
The meeting is definitly open to the public (Mr Pun is coming!!) and the time is 1900

Thanks Tigs2, I'll be there!

Keep us all posted if there's a plan for arriving and meeting up beforehand.

I'll be there
 

Have run it past OC Household and she agrees that it is a worhtwhile cause so she's put me on detachment to Ashtead in Surrey for the day. :D

I asked if I'd be on Rate 1s 'cos it's near London, but she told me go away in short sharp jerky movements!! :E

See you there people.

Per Ardua :ok:

And 1478 this morning at 9am.

As the petition ends in September I hope that the numbers are reported before the planning hearing.

1542 at 1030

Can't No.36 Grays Lane put in an objection to the Red Team, stating they are unfit to live within a 1,000 mile radius of heroes, present an unacceptable low standard & don't deserve to breathe the same air ?

Petition, & mail to MissWestphal sent a couple of days ago - if I can I might attend that meeting too, have mailed Mole Valley Council for venue & directions ( could find out but I thought it might perk them up, they may still need it even now ! ).

Very interesting gen' on the councillors - what with that and the businesses listed locally already which might be well worth a little investigation, if I was anything to do with Red Team I'd be making sure all my affairs could stand close scrutiny during what will become a large national issue...

What's the betting they won't ( stand it ) ?!

What an oportunity the residents of Grays Lane now have, in the glare of publicity, to change their minds and organise themselves to welcome the unfortunate visitors to this house. How easy it would be for them to provide, where necessary, transport, meals, laundry or just friendship and the use of the swimming pool.

On the other hand, through the power of the internet, they can make the name of Grays Lane synonymous with the uncaring, selfish, greedy face of Britain today. What would that do for their property values? Just imagine, like you used to have the "Sloane Square" set, we will have the derogatory "Grays Lane" types.

Petition signed.
