Almost 15,000 signatures last time I checked, all will be local to NE scotland.
Not bad for a city with Pop 200K or so...
The people have spoken up here, just a shame U dont want to listen.
Quick straw poll on where this thread is coming from: (Not many AB's in ur postcodes)
cambridgeshire
Nth Lincs
West Oxfordshire
West Lothian
bridgwater somerset
Reading, Berkshire
Chilterns
The biggest thing I sense in the Anti development movement is really an Anti Donald Trump thing.
Now I dont know what ur problem with rich people is but i'd try to get over it as they pay most of our wages 
Hope to see you all on NE's historic Sand dunes soon
Or do u have bigger bras to burn... |
the local people up there have indeed spoken - when the council planning authority - who probably mostly live in the AB post codes, and represent the 200+ thousand people - found against the development. That should have been the end of the matter and the Scottish parliment has no place to interfere in the devolved planning process.
Also 15,000 out of 200,000 is 7.5% of the population - hardly what you could call a storming mandate for the development
