Prompted by a call from a lady named Barbara today, who rang in to let the listeners of IW Radio know that a peaceful demo took place outside the Mill Bay pub this morning, Alex Dyke has declared that he will dedicate the phone-in tomorrow to the subject of the regeneration of Ventnor.
Meg Mortimer will be in the radio studio during the phone-in.
Alex believe that we should all be patting the backs of the developers, not objecting to them wanting to develop our town.
I don’t believe that any of the objectors have a problem with development of Ventnor, it’s just the extent to which it’s proposed. Five storeys is too high and as mentioned in the previous podcast, may put people off returning to the town in future years.
If you wish to express your views on the proposal to develop another five storey building in the seafront Conservation area, give Alex a call on 822002 between noon and 1pm tomorrow (Tuesday).
