I AM disappointed, annoyed and disgusted that West Dorset District Council is using a technicality to avoid debating the Advearse Petition.
It is a manoeuvre to sidestep debate on a genuine concern of the townspeople to build 760 new homes on Vearse Farm.
It has turned a blind eye to those concerns.
Whilst the Local Plan has been publicly examined, only those few people invited by the Inspector were able to state their concerns.
For the masses who signed the petition, their one and only chance of doing so has been kicked into touch, and this I regard as being totally undemocratic and disgraceful!
