Will these parish officials resign?

WHAT can I say? Double standards comes to mind. I refer to the letters from Cllr Jordan and Cllr Wright, who both claim their hands are tied because of legislation over planning matters in the council chamber...

Blaming Prezza is a smokescreen

MUCH as I love to see Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott being nailed to the wall for his incompetence and misdemeanours, I do think it might be just a little unfair for Don Jordan (Letters, October 4) to blame him totally for the greedy expansion plans of the Kent Science Park.

Sounds like 'Not in my back yard'

CLLR JORDAN'S letter (October 4) sounds a little like not in my back yard – or, in his case, front garden.

Let's be clear on the A2-M2 link

OVER the past few weeks you have published a series of letters which appear to be a well planned and co-ordinated attempt by our local MP and his Labour friends to discredit me. I shall leave your readers to make up their own minds about his motive. Meanwhile, I would like an opportunity to counter some of the propaganda he is peddling....

Be careful of the company you keep

I HAVE been following the debates in the EKG over the Kent Science Park plans and other local issues and would wish to make the following comments.

I won't apologise for opposing link

I SHOULD like the opportunity to reply to the local Conservative Party spokesman's letter (August 23), in which he requested an apology from the Labour Party for my letter opposing the proposed science park development. In my letter, I mentioned that he supported the building of an A2/M2 link road....

We must wear a gag to have a vote

IN REPLY to Adam Tolhurst's letter "Are Tories afraid of losing votes?" (Letters, September 20), I can say that the only vote I fear losing is my own.

Tory masterpiece of science fiction

CONGRATULATIONS to the chairman of Bapchild Parish Council for nailing the slippery machinations of local Tory politicians...

A shape of things to come - when?

THE OBVIOUS concerns of local residents over any increase in buildings in this industrial area of Swale have been well aired in your newspaper, as have concerns regarding uncontrolled housing developments...

We need to make ourselves heard

CONGRATULATIONS for printing letters about the proposals for the science park and associated housing. The letters were all fair and properly illustrated why the proposals should be rejected.

Are Tories afraid of losing votes?

I NOTE with interest the views of chairman of Bapchild Parish Council Andy Hudson (Letters, September 13) when he mentions the "blind panic" of Kent county councillor , Andrew Bowles the Tory leader of Swale Council and Tory press spokesman Gordon Henderson...

Biased document on development

THE following was sent to Kent Science Park in response to its public consultation document: "First, I have to say the way this questionnaire has been written and constructed is biased...

Questions for monster plotters

AT LONG last, it seems that it is beginning to dawn on the people of Swale and Sittingbourne that the potential monster that is Kent Science Park is a real threat to their wellbeing and their children's heritage...

My pride in town has disappeared

I HAVE lived in Sittingbourne all my life, and I used to be proud to live here. I have seen many changes, none in my view has benefited the town...

Link road would be entirely pointless

Kent Science Park threat to Sittingbourne's fine countryside and historic villages.

Feedback Form at odds with website

I WAS alarmed to discover that the feedback form provided by the Kent Science Park was at odds with its scoring system for questions 6 and 7.

Cloud hides details

I AM unable to make specific comment on the detail of the proposals wrapped around and messed to the so-called science park because I do not understand sufficiently to do so.

Once it's gone, it's gone forever

I GREW up in Longridge, Sittingbourne, until I left for university in 1984. I still have family in the town and I visit whenever I can. Although I now live in Guernsey, I read the East Kent Gazette every week.

Industry In by the back door

YOUR headline "Wanton destruction" (East Kent Gazette, August 2) and the many letters objecting to the proposed plans for the science park prompt me to write.

Online questions are misleading

KENT Science Park has said that it wants to "understand our views" and "identify community issues".

Hands off our beloved Downs

HOW can it even be considered for thousands of houses to be built on the green belt North Downs and the beautiful countryside from Sittingbourne to the site of the old Shell buildings, now renamed Kent Science Park?

Developers are all talk and no do

What concerns me is the way in general Swale is being concreted over. I grew up and went on bike rides around the very areas YOU are destroying.

Self-interest drives expansion plans

SITTINGBOURNE people must read between the lines of the Kent Science Park proposals

Put a block on all major development

AT the recent public consultation on the proposal to expand the Kent Science Park, one of the developers actually told the meeting that he had contacted Southern Water and had been told that there was no problem with future water supplies.
