For or against?
Carry On Langport's recent story 'Here we go again' has sparked a fair bit of public interest online, with e-mails and Facebook messages flying to and fro between supporters and opponents.
As of this evening (Weds), the post had clocked up 577 views.
It surrounds an application for 94 new homes on the field opposite the Kelways Inn known as 'The Trial Ground' (below) and will involve ripping out the towering beech hedge which stretches from one end of the land to the other.
The district council deadline for public comments is the end of tomorrow (Thurs) but it's probably well worth e-mailing a few other individuals - even after that time.
It's the district council which will decide on whether the housing can go ahead so getting in touch with your local district councillor makes sense.

The town's clerk is David Mears:

Quite right - so stop giving me earache and get e-mailing the people who matter.
