It seems Waverley won’t let us share their YouTube video, but if you click the link you can find Cllr Ellis’ question between 1.07.15 and 1.07.50 on the recording.
click on this video…and you may not be mistaken in thinking the lunatics have taken over the asylum…
No really, WW hasn’t lost the plot – at least not quite…
This is a picture of the Dartford Warbler, the very same little bird that a Waverley councillor is hoping will migrate North due to climate change, so the famous habitat around Farnham can be built on…thus saving Cranleigh from developers.
Cranleigh Councillor Brian Ellis, told a WBC committee there will be a Referendum in 2017 to determine whether to leave the EU. If this were to happen would there be a need for sites of Special Protection, such as the habitat occupied by the endangered little warbler in Farnham?....
Oh God if only all Waverley’s warblers could become an endangered species….dream on...
…due to climate change, he said, the bird will fly North. So Farnham would then lose its special protection from development, thus saving Cranleigh from developers.
Is this the same Cranleigh councillor that together with some of his colleagues are working hard, holding secret meetings, with a gang of developers to ensure Cranleigh does become a New Town! He and his wife even went to the trouble for one developer, whose application for almost 300 homes was about to be refused by the officers’ under delegated powers, that he asked them to withdraw it, re-submit so he could have it called in and considered by Waverleys full planning committee colleagues!
By the way followers if you want to TWEET this please feel free. SORRY we just couldn’t help ourselves!
Well – that’s all right then. Developers off you go. Don’t build on the borough’s Brown fields or its green fields go and sling your concrete at Farnham instead!
Oh dear we can feel a gin and tonic coming on..better have one too Councillor Ellis…before you pop out to look for Cranleigh’s little Warbler…in the mirror perhaps?
