Neighbours set for third fight against flats (From Echo)

Should have voted Tory not Canvey Independent.

Oh for goodness sake!

I'm often the first to jump in and blast the council for the over-development of the Island, building on every little bit of green space like it's going out of fashion. But once the damage is done it's done. The proposal site is currently an eye-sore. Some flats will tidy it up, and, if sympathetically built, will blend in nicely. There's a shortage of smaller sized housing on Canvey and this application goes a little way to help fill that gap. Get on and build it Mr Lane, you're doing a public service.

What???

Don't forget it was a tory council that eased through the compulsory purchase of the old 60 Acres plot-lands and allowed the developer Mr White (aka Fenwick) to over develop the site and build houses down streets that even then were below adoptable standard.

Want me to remind you how they even allowed part of the golf course to be 'accidentally' built on because nobody on the council noticed it wasn't the builders land.

Should have voted tory!

Don't make me laugh.

"Want me to remind you how they even allowed part of the golf course to be 'accidentally' built on because nobody on the council noticed it wasn't the builders land."

That wasn't 'accidentally' done though as the developer found out when his land theft was rumbled and he was taken to court.

Don't talk stupid. The Canvey Independents voted against the building on green belt in Benfleet and the over development at Canvey Supply..

It was the Tory majority on that voted both through.

So how do you make voting Tory would stop passing inappropriate building?

This is the sort of stupid comment Councillor Sharp would make.

Oh this should have gone as a response to Curbishly's stupid comment.

Smaller size houses yes, flats no.

What was then outcome of the court case? The houses are still there.

hahaha excellent. Remind us all as well to thank the Tories for spending 250.000 pounds of tax payers money to have no core strategy which is allowing this over development of Canvey.
As well as the 18 million pound wasted on a road to no where that the Tories promised would create 1700 jobs. Lets not forget the demise of the full time fire crew that the Tories said would save money, ironic when they waste so much else where. Maybe they need to increase their expenses coffers for the Xmas knees up. There are more flats going up next to Nearbuys by the way, Good old Pam Challis must be well in with the big boys in London for managing to take a huge bite out of the building quota without even touching the mainland, Rebbecca you must be so proud!!!!

not all the £250,000 was wasted the data is still the same.
I hear the CIIP Cllrs have been whipped by Mr Blackwell not to attend any meetings about the local plan,why would he do that ?

Yes. And the Canvey Independents, and their apologists, couldn't do a thing about it apart from whine and moan.

Now if they had voted Tory they would have a greater chance of influencing the party vote.

It's not exactly rocket science but it would appear to be too much for you.

Make it 9 storey then you can advertise sea view

How on earth do you arrive at that conclusion as ALL THE TORIES VOTED IN FAVOUR?

You really are an ****.

I'd already said that some time ago yes the data is still there and the new core strategy will be no different to the old one just reworded, which ever way you look at it Canvey will still get the brunt of the quota thrown at it.
As for CIIP, I wouldn't have a clue who Dave Blackwell whipped or didn't, his personal lifer is his personal life. :)

I think I understand what you mean now.

The tories don't care about Canvey because residents there consistently reject them at the ballot box.

Or, put another way, tories only care about and look after their own. That's exactly what we're seeing from them nationally so I can't see how anybody can be surprised that we're seeing it locally too.

A bunch of out of touch snobs who only care about themselves.

Thanks Curbishly for reminding us all.
