All ready to go!

Here we are - the night before the inquiry and we're ready. Ready to all sit down in the 'cosy' room the council have booked for the three week slog at the Royal Hotel in Ashby. We're hoping that as many as possible of our 300+ supporters will be coming to watch and show the Inspector how important this all is.

It's about our town and our way of life. I expect outsiders will think we're a bunch of raving NIMBYs, but Ashby has a unique character and an important historical context that is worth hanging onto...and 3500 people agreed when we surveyed last year. If it goes Hallam Land's way, they'll simply sell the land on to their builder friends and retreat to Sheffield with a huge profit.

That's what it's all about.

So watch the blog and we'll do our best to let you know, on a daily basis, what's happening and what will happen next.

Please come along to the inquiry if you can - 10am on Tuesday 13th October start and (most importantly) 9.30am on Friday 16th when we're giving our evidence, along with Chris Miles of Packington Parish Council.

See you there!
