Last chance for Poohaven protest
 |
| Members of the public voice their concerns at a meeting about the proposals last week |
I would like to inform all
readers that plans for the
Sewage Works at Lower
Hoddern Farm, Peacehaven,
are being resubmitted for
approval by Southern Water.
Everyone from Brighton to
Eastbourne needs to realise
that they will be affected if this
work goes ahead. Not only with
the increased traffic along the
A259 but also with the noise
and air pollution that the
lorries trundling along the
already well-worn roads will
cause.
A meeting was held last week
to discuss local concerns.
However, it is not just a local
problem. The tunnel from Black
Rock will be under houses at
Portobello and will come up at
the Meridian car park. Our
school lies only metres away.
Work will be done 24 hours a
day. It is everyone's
responsibility to write with
your concerns and objections as
it is not too late.
Southern Water has promised
funds towards improving the
sport facilities in Peacehaven.
This sounds nice but families
will move out of the area if the
sewage works go ahead so there
will be no one to appreciate
them.
Even the industrial estate is
expanding and if Southern
Water is granted permission
then I think it will open doors
for all other manner of works
to be built there. Unfortunately
there will be no one left to fill
the jobs created. The only
people left will be those who
cannot afford to move or those
who have chosen to live out the
rest of their days in
Peacehaven.
If we just sit back and do
nothing then Peacehaven will
just disappear into the history
books.
If we do nothing then this
green area, full of nature,
which has been there for
millions of years will be lost
for ever.
Joanne Bell,
Arundel Road
