Boiling Anger in Eastfield

The residents of Eastfield have good reason to believe that the problems associated with the Horse Fair at Seamer have been shifted over to them. They find it hard to believe that those responsible for finding a suitable place for the travellers did all that they could to keep it in Seamer. At the last moment and too late to do anything legally about it this year the leaseholder of some council owned land OFFERED it to the travellers!
We have already had one very stormy meeting about this and Monday's Parish Council meeting promises to be just as hot when a council official is coming to explain the situation.
What everyone wants to know is "if it is too late to do anything legally this year what and when will 'the powers that be' set about doing something for next year?

The Dawn of a Great New Venture for Eastfield.

To day, Wednesday 6th May, saw the official start on the expansion of the industrial estate . The Mayor cut the first sod, at least officially, even though a start had been made last week. The first stage ie. putting in roads, sewers, water and services together with changes to the surrounding roads will cost in the region of £10million.
It is hoped that the buildings will receive heat and electricity from the experimental pyrolisis plant at the nearby Seamer Carr tip and with the fastest internet connections in Britain, 100 Mb's, it should attract state of the art 21st century high tech industries.It aims to be the 'greenest' industrial estate in Britain. It will also have training facilities for some of the new jobs that will be created there. The whole project will bring in at least £100million of investment and being on the doorstep of Eastfield will give all our residents a big boost in the employment market.
