Some forty years ago our local Councillors were persuaded by a smooth-talking ‘developer’ to hand over ~1100 acres of public land for him to build a hotel, golf course, etc., etc.
He didn’t – and neither did the 10 or so subsequent land speculators who acquired the site making big promises to the local community. Now, at long last, the land is reverting to public ownership, our hope is to have it made safe and improved as a community asset.
With the help of our local Council, I have created this video to inform our next community meeting of the new options before us. Do share.
