Highways at 6:30 the following Wednesday for all concerned local residents. He urge as many

as could to appear

without warning or explanation by Anglian Water.

3. Sainsburvs Patrick Purves reported on the hearing the previous Thursday, at which the Metaris

application for a convenience-store or mart had been refused. There was to be a further

hearing on 19th July to set this in stone, with reasons, and Patrick was authorised to write

underlining local residents' and others' unanimous objection, while making it plain to ElDC that

we would not automatically object to a sensible development and would welcome, e.g. starter

homes, a skate-park, or some other amenity with real benefit to the community and the Town.

He was to write to the local papers suggesting people contact us with ideas and views.
