KINGS DRIVE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT, EASTBOURNE, ON LAND KNOWN AS POCOCKS FIELD. We the undersigned call upon East Sussex County Council (ESCC) to release into the Public Domain, ALL of its discussions with the developers ‘Wimpey’. East Sussex County Council (ESCC) say that after discussions with the Developers, Wimpey, they feel that Wimpey’s new draft Transport Assessment and Travel Plan is likely to address their highway concerns! SO WHY IS EAST SUSSEX COUNTY COUNCIL WILLING TO ABANDON POCOCKS FIELD TO DEVELOPERS Is it because they are more confident with Wimpey’s revised Travel Plans and traffic assessments (THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE US WITH ANY DETAILS OF THE PLANS THOUGH!) Or does it comes down to a financial contribution of over half a million pounds that ESCC could make from Wimpey, if the development goes ahead I put this to East Sussex County Council at the planning meeting on the 15th. You can view exactly what I said to them on the discussion board of group's website to Save Pococks Field http://www.facebook.com/group.phpgid=68323387680 Minutes are taken during the meetings with ESCC and Wimpey, and therefore everything that is discussed is recorded. We want to know what negotiations have taken place between ESCC and Wimpey. We therefore call upon East Sussex County Council (ESCC) to release into the Public Domain, ALL of its discussions with the developers ‘Wimpey’. We have a right to know!

The lack of transparency from the council remains frustrating but I am not stopping now. We are still waiting for them to acknowledge the requests for these meeting minutes. It is a slow and grueling process but people deserve to know the truth about what was promised to developers.

Classic case of council greed. They care way more about the payout from Wimpey than the people who actually live here.

Half a million pounds!? No wonder they are rushing this through. Follow the money and you will find the truth.

What are they hiding? If everything is above board they should have no problem showing us the meeting notes. Transparency is the bare minimum here.

Pococks field is the last bit of green space we have left in this area. Stop letting developers build over everything we love.

The traffic on Kings Drive is already a total nightmare. Another massive housing estate is just going to break it completely. ESCC needs to wake up.
