WOOD YOU BELIEVE IT

The Save Titnore campaign is celebrating a huge victory as developers aiming to build on Titnore Woods have decided not to appeal against the council’s surprising decision in March to refuse development of the site (see SchNEWS 714). The campaign had planned a protest outside the developers Persimmon Homes regional HQ in Fareham on June 26th, but this has been cancelled due to the good news.

Campers resident at the site will now decide whether or not to remain there or if the threat of development is sufficiently distant to allow the site to be disbanded and the woodland to return to its uninhabited glory. A meeting to discuss the future of the Titnore campaign will take place at 8pm at the Jolly Brewers pub on Clifton Road, Worthing on June 24th.
