I agree Michael, I wasn't totally fair to you. My beef isn't with you though because I know you do great work for the us, which I really do appreciate - so let's get that straight.

It's the existing operation and its proposed expansion that I object to - despite any 'assurances' and conditions which may be written-in to any grant of permission.

It's great that you are engaging, on our behalf, with the developers and the planners and I'm totally aware of many of the guidelines, parameters and political correctness which limit the possibilities of squashing this application but my own raw, street-wise intuition/commonsense says NO.

Thank you for all your efforts and for keeping us all posted on this Michael - and I'm sorry for being a thorn in your side.
