Have the Argus printed anything on this increase? They did feature the original story.
 




It's worth targeting the leadership of Lewes District Council

If you live in Lewes District, include your name and address in any e-mail.

These are the members of the District Council's Cabinet, that took the decision to commit the additional money (although bear in mind that some of them voted against it).

susan.bratchie@lewes.gov.uk
edward.collict@lewes.gov.uk
neil.commin@lewes.gov.uk
ann.devecchi@lewes.gov.uk
shirley.james@lewes.gov.uk
elizabeth.lee@lewes.gov.uk
marina.pepper@lewes.gov.uk
david.rogers@lewes.gov.uk
norman.turner@lewes.gov.uk
 


And if anyone wants the full list of Lewes District Councillors, here it is:-

'patricia.bennett@lewes.gov.uk'; 'john.best@lewes.gov.uk'; 'susan.bratchie@lewes.gov.uk'; 'robert.brown@lewes.gov.uk'; 'julie.carr@lewes.gov.uk'; 'cllr.michael.chartier@eastsussex.gov.uk'; 'kim.clark@lewes.gov.uk'; 'edward.collict@lewes.gov.uk'; 'neil.commin@lewes.gov.uk'; 'angela.craven@lewes.gov.uk'; 'rod.crocker@lewes.gov.uk'; 'james.daly@lewes.gov.uk'; 'kenneth.davies@lewes.gov.uk'; 'sharon.davy@lewes.gov.uk'; 'ann.devecchi@lewes.gov.uk'; 'david.fitton@lewes.gov.uk'; 'john.fletcher@lewes.gov.uk'; 'robin.fricker@lewes.gov.uk'; 'lynda.hallett@lewes.gov.uk'; 'peter.harper@lewes.gov.uk'; 'jacqueline.harrison-hicks@lewes.gov.uk'; 'shirley.james@lewes.gov.uk'; 'elizabeth.lee@lewes.gov.uk'; 'jo.lewry@lewes.gov.uk'; 'helen.livings@lewes.gov.uk'; 'kevin.mayers@lewes.gov.uk'; 'david.mitchell@lewes.gov.uk'; 'gerald.munro@lewes.gov.uk'; 'david.neighbour@lewes.gov.uk'; 'ruth.okeeffe@lewes.gov.uk'; 'sarah.osborne@lewes.gov.uk'; 'judith.ost@lewes.gov.uk'; 'marina.pepper@lewes.gov.uk'; 'david.rogers@lewes.gov.uk'; 'ralph.taylor@lewes.gov.uk'; 'norman.turner@lewes.gov.uk'; 'john.webber@lewes.gov.uk'; 'tracy.willis@lewes.gov.uk'; 'ianwilson@dorian.freeserve.co.uk'

I grew up in Lewes (Landport Est) & don't know anyone who is against Falmer. I don't think a lot of Lewes residents realise how much of their money is being wasted on something that is on the outskirts of Brighton.

Knowing Lewes as I do, I'd be willing to bet that these councillers don't even come from the town originally. The town is full of people who have moved there & want to live in a quaint old market town & have dinner parties. The problem is they are either on the council or are chums with the wankers.
How the f*** will Falmer affect these chattering tossers?

:angry: :angry: :angry:

I am not working and if some kind printer was to donate a leaflet for doorstep distribution I would be prepared to go around and deliver some to peoples houses. I am sure that others would follow suit.

I get the impression that the extra money is going on paying some guy to coem up with crap, that LDC will want to submit as part of the new inquiry. I just hope the inspector is wise to their tacticts and does not allow them to just spend time sprouting irrelvant information.

I'd willingly post fliers on my estate in Lewes (Landport).

This extra money has been found at a time when the town council are considdering selling Lewes town hall to reduce costs and council tax bills.

Don't they just blow your bloody mind :shootself

This is all down to a handful of Little Englanders who obviously have some influence over LDC-it's about time their waste of money was made clear to a lot of residents who are blissfully unaware of what these twats are doing with council tax payers' money. And the benefits they'll lose out on if the stadium doesn't get approved

I live in Guildford but would happily join in with a leaflet campaign-either handing them out or home delivery. It probably wouldn't cost much to do an A5 flyer printed on one side-I'll contribute to a printing fund! This also needs to be done very quickly.

We also need Albion fans who are Lewes residents to swamp the ArseGas with letters of protest.

The laugh with all of this is that Lewes' preferred site is Sheepcote which is opposed by Falmer. So who are Lewes representing in this?

It is likely that the extra money is going to pay some very expensive transport consultant to try and prove that Sheepcote will work in traffic terms despite having no station and all traffic having to go through the town centre or past Falmer! It is also likely they are putting forward a second site such as Toads Hole Valley.

I think the officers and the cabinet at Lewes DC have completely lost sight of what they are doing and are now in a spiral of win at all costs. Completely undemocratic.

Also don't forget this is not just Lewes town but places like Newhaven, Peacehaven, Ditchling and Seaford. Why on earth they should be spending money opposing a stadium at Falmer is beyond me.

My dad who lives in Lewes will be writing.

PS: There is a by-election in Peacehaven on 13th January. May be interesting for any locals to get the views of the candidates and their party leaders before deciding how to vote.

I don't live in Lewes but would be quite happy to help out with delivering leaflets or the like, as long as I can do it before the 9th of Jan as that's when I head off back to Exeter.

I will happily design the leaflets for people download on a PDF (ike the Tom Hark leaflets). All I need is for someone to come up with the correct wording.

How about

"Lewes town council and the mp for Lewes, Normski Baker are a bunch of ****s who want to rip off their voters and tax payers in order to fund an extortionate bid to stop the stadium being built at Falmer for the Seagulls. If you come across any of these vermin, please shaft them up the gazza with an ungreased marrow then slit their throats"

Will that wording do the trick ???:drink:

No, better not.

It's Lewes DISTRICT Council, and 'MP' should be capped up. Oh, and 'taxpayers' is one word. Other than that, seems reasonable to me...

Lord B:

A number of offers any suggestions concerning leaflets?
I'll bash some words together and run them past the Falmer For All team. We also need to get the message into the media - letters to the Argus, Sussex Express and so on.

I believe the Argus might be running a story tomorrow.
