WHAT is happening down at the planning office? A school needs to expand and the council responds by selling off a large adjoining site to a supermarket company. Then they are "forced" to sell the school to another supermarket company.

Nearly £18m of our money has been spent on a bypass road not to remove traffic from St John's but to make room for supermarket traffic.

More millions are to be wasted moving a new sports hall to allow a supermarket building to comply with an arbitrary planning rule about distance from shops, which at the same time conflicts with the local plan.
