Rich- let me/others know what you have done so far on this (to avoid duplicating effort). In terms of facts, I have only seen the short online newspaper article that contained a brief description and a quote from the EA. This suggested that the ncessary permit was issued after some sort of assessment process.

Have you gathered any other background information and facts as yet- if so, please share.

I will make contact with the local MP's office to see what, if any, comment has been made so far.
 
Morning Howard...... I was in touch with Will last night at the AT...he emailed Martin Salter and they are aware of it. Marl LLoyd is leading their response and he thinks that the petition will be highlighted in their next news letter.
I do not have any leverage with the EA.....perhaps the R&C is able to use their influence?
I will dig deeper tonight if I have time..... busy time at work.
 
Hi men ,

I signed and shared the facebook petition as soon as it came out , lovely little stream .

the excuse about the costs is ****, if they want the money from the houses, they pay to connect them to main sewage. If they wont pay, dont build the houses.
 
This statement from the AT is what we would hope for and I think its what we should get behind. There will be many concerned parties here, and not just the fishy ones. A strong, unified approach should be the most powerful representation that can be made and I think we should be keeping up pressure on the AT to understand what answers they are getting from the EA.

Agree Howard, we need to back the AT and keep the pressure up. Also sign the petition and support them, petition link again: https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petiti...&source=facebook-share-button&time=1430044057

Spot on Rob.

If I remember rightly there's a big development approved and in the pipeline for Hurst / Sandford Farm area next to the Loddon, they had to clean up a toxic waste site beforehand I know that much - anyone with local knowledge know if that is still on? there were 1,000s of houses planned and I wonder what the EA have allowed for waste here.

Don't let the B*^%$*s grind you down.

Its up on the River Telegraph facebook group page and has our full backing.

I once won second prize in the Wild Trout Trust raffle at the Game Fair to have a days fishing with dry fly expert Mike Wilmott on the Lambourn.

Regards,

Lee.
