titnore woods protest camp

The protest camp against the 875-homes development at Titnore Woods, Durrington, Worthing, is now approaching its third birthday and the campaigners are still in good spirits. Visitors are always welcome and help is always needed. At the moment beams of wood for building more tree houses would be particularly useful, plus someone with a van or truck to help bring material to the site. Tinned food provision are always gratefully received.

TESCO'S application to go ahead with its massive Tesco Extra store next to the protest camp is currently up before the council. Write in against the new megastore, quoting application number WB/09/0146/ARM and send to the Development Control Manager, Worthing Borough Council, Portland House, Richmond Road, Worthing by 14th May 2009. Opponents are also being urged to write to the Worthing Herald at letters@worthingtoday.co.uk setting out their feelings about the proposal. The issue will also be discussed at the next meeting of Worthing Alliance, to be held at Beechwood Hall, Wykeham Road, Worthing, at 8pm on Thursday April 30.
