 Happy to such a development but not        Go away. Don’t want it. Stop trying to

 destroy current village ambience.          commercialise our neighbourhood.

 OK, if it is locally owned and managed.    Not in favour. Keep area zoned as is.

 area and the    shopping precinct could    nearby: a supermarket would make it too

 Local ownership essential                  Whole area should be kept as natural as

 I do worry about the local business but    It’s not needed. We’ve got plenty of fresh

 I don’t see the Square as a place for      produce coming from local farmers at the

 for social meetings                        co-op.




 Happy for it to bring more people to the   It’s zoned recreational land. Sports facili-
