Councillors who have supported the building of ticky tacky executive homes around the Old Oswestry Hillfort will face a backlash at the next election an unprecedented number of campaigners have warned.
Thanks to “Rescue” for publicising this on their front page.
Councillors please take note.
If post industrial Britain is to leave anything worth while at all to our children, it’s all about
using and wasting less,
preserving our heritage and our environment,
and living within our means.
Quite a challenge, but simple with the right set of values.
This hell for leather house building to kick start the housing market in an unfair economy chiefly geared to preserve the current living standards of the “haves” of society is simply wrong.
The people of Oswestry are leading the way by objecting to this abomination.
I totally agree, Diana. Why don’t they SEE the value in things like the hillfort?
Ah they see the value, but THEIR values are all about their own jobs. The Government know this and are pushing them to develop to save their own government jobs!
The Council want BIG incomes from exec. homes for which they get an annual government subsidy for 6 years on top of large council tax income. Solves their debt problem. They are not interested in brownfield, neither are developers – it involves too much work and preparation.BUT they may think twice if they push people so far that they are voted out……..
Hello Diana, I’m not sure if I’ve forwarded this to the right place. I’ll try again later. It’s live cinema from the Matisse cut outs exhibition in the Tate Modern. It clashes with Rachel Montgomery at the Willow. It’s part of this scheme of beaming out live performances to cinemas all around the world. Previously I’ve only heard of operas and ballets. Sounds too good to miss to me. I haven’t checked that it’s showing in Eagles Meadow, but they are in the scheme.

OOOOh! Josie! We need to check where it will be on, and perhaps re-zone the meeting to their and hope Rachael will be happy to do another day. If you find out where it’s being shown can you let me know please?
Looks as if it could be in the evening at 7.15 on all cinemas – will find out more.
Hello Diana, Your sandy blue painting with mattress ticking and birch bark continues to give me joy! It’s my inspiration to get out and camp on the coast this year. I’m sending you this email from Graham, and the testimonial I sent to the Willow in the hope that you may think of somewhere else to send it. I’m quite sure he’d make an impact and do a memorable evening round here somewhere. I could see in the workshops I attended that he has “a following”. I really enjoyed being part of the groups, but it’s a long way for me to travel to go to his events on TS Eliot. Now he is evidently doing the traveling himself. I don’t know if his website would be of general interest to Inside Out members who like poetry as well as art. Thanks for all you do to keep us in touch with events and meetings. Josie
Good to hear from you Josie. I look forward to that email! Speak soon, Diana
