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.
