16th May 2009

FLAT will be holding another Great Auction at Jubilee Village Hall, Smeeth Road, Marshland St James. Times etc will be sent out nearer the time, so watch this space!

We have decided to put a hold on the auction that was planned for 16 May 2009 in light of the current postponement of the proposal.
 
We do plan, however, on holding an event later in the year so your kind donations will still be required!  Please let us know if you need anything storing.

7th April 2008

ANNUAL PARISH COUNCIL ASSEMBLY

Monday 7th April at Marshland St James Methodist Church, Smeeth Road - 7:00pm

We urge all villagers who have an issue with the proposed wind turbines to attend the above meeting.

There will be an open forum where you will be able to ask questions to our parish councillors, who up until now have steadfastly refused to engage with parishioners on this subject.

This is one of the very few opportunities you will get to have your say - please make the most of it!

25th March 2008

A PUBLIC MEETING will be held at Marshland Jubilee Hall, Marshland St James, at 7.00pm. The emphasis of this meeting will be what action can be taken to object to this development and therefore prevent it happening. We will update information as and when we hear of any.

17th March 2008

Parish Council Meeting at the Methodist Church at 7:30 PM. 

Now that the proposal to build 19 wind turbines are official, we hope that the Parish Council will be announcing their plans for a thorough consultation procedure with the local parishioners.

26th July 2007

Added press release of 26th July 2007, concerning the extradorinary parish council meeting.

25th July 2007

We feel that the Parish Council has not adequately represented a large proportion of the parishioners as regards the proposed wind factory development.  To the best of our knowledge they have known about this proposal for at least 2 years and STILL refuse to discuss the matter at recent meetings and have hid behind “procedures” to dismiss the subject.  They have also refused to meet with members of your local action group (ie FLAT) and seem to be treating us with contempt. 

We have now learnt that there will be an extraordinary general meeting held at the Jubilee Hall on Friday the 27th of July at 7:30.  We understand that the current Chairman is standing down and a new Chairman will be elected at the meeting.  It would seem likely that the new Chairman will be one of the original Parish Councillors and  based on the Parish Council’s previous track record they may well yet again fail to grasp the strong feelings of the local parishioners.  It would therefore be desirable to show them exactly how the local community feels by turning up in force for the meeting, although we may not be able to voice our opinion regarding the wind factory because they have managed to keep it off the agenda yet again!  However just your presence will not go unnoticed by them!

16th July 2007

A Parish Council Meeting will be held tonight at 7.30 in Marshland Village Hall.

18th May 2007

FLAT will be holding a meeting at Tilney St Lawrence, starting at 7:00pm. For further information please contact the secretary.
