OUT IN THE FIELD: Sad day for Eastbourne justice as court closes
The whole downland farm sale debacle continues and while I remain undecided over the whole affair, I thought I’d share the words of Trevor Beattie, the top man at the South Downs National Park Authority who says, “Local authorities can dispose of their assets as they see fit and we understand financial pressures many now face. But these countryside sites were secured for the people in the 1930s by farsighted councils and campaigners who wanted to protect our landscapes and water supply in perpetuity. The Downland estate is not a disposable financial asset to be switched from one capital account to another on some bean-counter’s balance sheet.”
Finally, a very merry Christmas to one and all. I’ll be spending the big day with the Little Treasures, friends and loved ones. Enjoy the festive season whatever you’re doing and stay safe. See you in the new year.
