It looks as though things are going to get interesting in Northbrook in the lead up to the 3rd May election. A Facebook page has been set up taking to task Mary Harding and her Party for allowing the development. See: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003737659757
16th April 2012 We are pleased to let you know that William Morris of the Green Party is to stand for election in the Northbrook (Titnore) Ward at the local elections on Thursday May 3rd.
William supported the long running campaign to prevent the ancient woods and green fields from being trashed by the development he also visited the campaigners in the woods many times.

6pm Thursday, 20th October in the council chamber at Worthing Town Hall is when the planning committee will start the procedure for deciding whether 700+ houses are built on the farmland north of Tesco. This is a meeting in public (as they Say!) and it’s very important that everyone attends to show the committee the strength of feeling there is against this development.
11th October.
Please note!! The planning application will be determined on 20th October in the Council Chamber at the Town Hall starting at 6.00pm.

In fact to ensure there is a good turnout why not let your neighbours, even your road know about the council meeting – a sample note is below.
Finally to plan for that council meeting we are holding a strategy meeting at the Lamb pub (roundabout New / Salvington Road) starting at 7.30pm Tuesday, 18th October all are welcome.
Sample note.
Dear neighbour,
This is to let you know that the development of 700+ houses on the farmland north of Tesco will be decided at a council meeting starting at 6pm Thursday, 20th October.
If you care about our local countryside please make every effort to attend this PUBLIC meeting. The more who attend the more likely the development can be stopped.
11th October.
Please note!! The planning application will be determined on 20th October in the Council Chamber at the Town Hall starting at 6.00pm.
So now we better get our skates on. Will all those who wish to address the planning committee please let me know urgently so that I can book a room at the community centre to plan with you our presentation to the committee. Also we need to do a leaflet drop around the area near to the development site so if you can help deliver some leaflets again please let me know.
Finally there’s still time to object if you haven’t already done so. Address and all you need just click this link: http://bit.ly/njl3Bq
We have the strength in numbers to stop this development – we will win!
14th September.
The most likely date for the development to come before the planning committee is now October 20th. However this date is dependant on a suitable venue being found and whether this means it will be held in Durrington only time will tell.
2nd September.
The planning committee will not be meeting this Wednesday to determine the development application. In fact it seems no one at the council is able to say when it will come up. However as night follows day it will, so watch this space. I expect you have all seen the fantastic press coverage our meeting received – front page in the West Sussex Gazette and prominent in the Worthing Herald considering this issue as expected mainly covered the Rotary Fair. For those who haven’t seen the report – or haven’t yet voted against the development - follow this link http://www.worthingherald.co.uk/community/vote_flooding_fears_for_titnore_housing_plan_1_3013544
A special vote of thanks to all those of you who wrote and to those who had letters in the printed copies, to those still thinking about writing – lets keep the issue going, the more letters there are the more interest we will get from the press. TV is next! As mentioned before we have quite a few who are not on e-mail but who want updates. Therefore so as not to overload those who have already printed out and delivered the first update, would those of you who live in the Adur Ave, New Rd, Tasman Way, Varey Rd, Carisbrooke Dr, Cypress Ave, Rogate road and High St Tarring areas, please offer to print and deliver a maximum of 4.
