The Association has always considered membership based on one household (house)and not on individual persons. It has been like this for decades, even before Piplings owners moved to the area, so why should this be changed? To allow Friends of Piplings to vote individually to get their point through? The 17 members who requested the General Meeting were individual number of persons or 17 household memberships?
Piplings have committed errors since the beginning. If you look at their application to the Council, they indicated clearly in black and white that they did not consulted their neighbours. Only on a declaration it was stated that they contacted neighbours in the range of 50 metres. The Council received 27 objections (if you see the documents, all neighbours opposed it) one application, one letter in favour, which came from someone living outside the area. You can see all this on the documents published by the Council. You can also see where staff came from, where children attending the nursery came from. You can google on the Associations consulted and the Councillors in favour and against it. After that, the council had more objecting letters and local meetings were organised, but somehow the local community wishes were ignored. I am asking myself why?? Nobody spoke of the covenant then?
Since then Piplings have conducted a campaign of hate against people living on the estate, denigrating the area. When is it going to stop? with the TLRA Meeting or the Court?? At the moment Piplings have a beautiful place, the Elm, where they can run their business without objections. The Elm has a better garden, more space and security gates. Why don't they accommodate/give priority to children of 5 Liphook Crescent nursery at the new place? Is it a matter of having the convenience of a nursery on your doorsteps?
I don't think it is correct for some people who have not bother to pay their membership for ages, to pay it now it now because they got interests to defend!
