Fenland District Council to relax archaeological planning regulations

[BAJR]

Indeed the way Cllr Melton wants it to go, we will look down holes while we hold a pint of ale and are glad we don't have to be paid to do it... given our independent wealth. WE have taken great strides to professionalise ourselves, taken big steps to be relevant and useful in today's society. Have some way to go, but should not be snuffed out because a developer wants to build a mock tudor mansion on a nice piece of real estate. the Fenland are a remarkable resource for the people, and are the reason why people visit and want to live there. Take away the heritage, concrete over the fens and put up an Asda or 16,000 brick houses... knock down those ugly listed buildings in order to create a homogeneous monotony and a fat profit for the developer, who can happily ride rough-shod over legislation that was there to protect the environment. Well no.... not here... not now... NO.

So far I have seen no reply from Cllr Melton... he has nothing more to say - WEll Mr Melton. BAJRs bite. Archaeologists are not your cuddly lot, willing to bend over and take it from the likes of you.

The Freedom of information request has been accepted and they now have 20 days to produce correspondence that relates to archaeology heritage or bunny huggers. Lets see how embarrassing this can be for I hope a soon to be ex-councillor. A discredit to those he purports to serve. Imagine the developments he could have allowed to appear if he got his way... Incinerator anyone?
