| | | Editorial Comment | | 2009-07-04 Kippax Parish Council Show the Way | Having surveyed every home, giving every resident the opportunity to say how they want their community to develop, then analysing, publishing and issuing the findings to every household, Kippax Parish Plan steering group is now taking the first steps to realising these aspirations of their community, confident that it has a popular mandate. Meanwhile in other communities across the district, people similarly charged with finding better ways of engaging with the general public, have briefly discussed the matter in small, unpublicised meetings and decided that it is probably best if they continue to make decisions for the community in small unpublicised meetings. Shame. | | 2009-04-03 New Caravan Site Finally Approved | The dispute over Makin’s caravan park is ended. This year and hopefully for the foreseeable future, his seasonal workers will be lodged on a new caravan site well away from the housing estates surrounding the farm. The correct solution has finally been agreed, one that benefits both sides in this long running dispute, and the council and government are allowing it to go ahead. But one niggling question remains. Why was this exact same site rejected when it was first proposed by the farmer back in June 2006? Who objected to it then and had the planning application thrown out, inflicting a further three years of unnecessary misery on the residents of the The Chase?

Everyone who lived through it has his or her own personal memories of those historic events. If you have a story, why not share it with us. Send it here. Meanwhile here is Charlie’s War |
