We would like to thank all those who helped to defeat the application for Long Itchington – those who attended public meetings,  distributed leaflets, wrote to comment on the applications (over 180!), attended the hearing today – and those other councillors and villagers who spoke in defence of the village.

Whilst sympathetic to those who objected to the Rugby application, I truly believe that common sense prevailed.  If WCC believe that one of the sites must be be developed to help achieve the County’s recycling targets (we were against both sites being approved) then the sheer amount of unnecessary potential traffic between the village and Rugby helped to sway the decision away from Long Itchington.

Thank you all again on behalf of LIPC and the rest of the communities in the area!).
