Bishopsgarth Residents Meeting
There has been a meeting of some residents in the Bishopsgarth area about setting up a residents association to look at local issues such as speeding in the Marske Lane area, and antisocial behaviour.

Lib Dem County Cllrs Andrew Brock and Margaret Collins both believe 2500 houses is far too many for a single location at East Grinstead, and have both voted against this at County Council.
Charles Kennedy, Leader of the Liberal Democrats, has used his eve of poll press conference to emphasise the popular appeal of Liberal Democrat policies, which have seen the party reach record levels in the polls.
A big turnout in Thursday's election could be good news for Lib Dem Peter Carroll. If enough people come out to vote, Michael Howard will lose his seat.
The effects of airport expansion at Lydd will be felt well beyond the area just around the airport.
No one wants 2500 houses or significant numbers of additional houses in East Grinstead or indeed anywhere in Mid Sussex. Liberal Democrats are keen to protect the existing character of East Grinstead and ensure the existing town benefits from investment in infrastructure after years of neglect. It must also be stated that if there are to be any extra homes, then such houses must not be a bolt on to serve Crawley but bring benefits such as Town Centre regeneration and local jobs. I would like to clarify that, as indicated above, Lib Dems on both Town and County Councils have voted against the current Tory plans for 2500 houses as providing insufficient protection for the town with insufficient safeguards on infrastructure.
