Disasterous news! Despite overwhelming support for the campaign,
listed building consent has been granted. Unfortunately, we have
no right to appeal.
|
| 04/03/2003 |
Great news! We heard today that the plans have been referred to committee
for further consideration. This gives an extra month for objections to be
sent to Eastleigh Planning Department. Please continue to write voicing
your objections - every single letter counts!

An email was sent to everyone who has signed the online petition. This gave
details of the plans and encouraged recipients to write and object to them.

We had a meeting to discuss the plans. We unanimously agreed that the
plans were still completely unacceptable and agreed our strategy to oppose
them.

The Bursledon Parish Council met and voted unanimously to oppose the plans.

A preliminary copy of the petition was sent to Hall & Woodhouse. This contained
a total of 772 names (267 from our paper-based peition and another
505 from our online petition)

Hall & Woodhouse made a press release attempting to counter ours. However, they
manage to completely miss the point of our campaign - we support their
plans to extend the kitchens and replace the cask lift. They also fail
to mention that whilst restoring "an original fireplace" they're losing
another one and a whole load more too!

A few of us had a campaign progress meeting this evening. We're very
happy with the way that the campaign is going. We're gathering more
and more material that supports our case, and it all reinforces our
belief that we can win this campaign.

The photos page was added to the site today,
highlighting the wonderful character, atmosphere and heritage of the
pub - exactly what will be lost if the proposed plans go ahead.
We got many more signatures on petition forms and many letters have been
written to the pub, the brewery and others.

The initial meeting was held in The Vine, Old Bursledon
(many people commented on the absolutely superb quality of the Greene King beers).
The meeting was well attended and highly productive. We
believe that we have a strong case for preserving the Jolly Sailor
in its current, traditional form and are all highly committed to the campaign.
