Sidmouth Herald: EDA Councillor Cathy Gardner sounds alarm over “eastern Sidmouth”

” …This isn’t about the Mill Street car park – it’s about the whole of the eastern side of town,” said Cllr Gardner. “It’s to do with plans for Port Royal and the seafront. Everyone can get excited about the rights and wrongs of increasing parking charges, but it’s part of a bigger picture.

“EDDC owns a lot of land there and I don’t know if people are aware of how much – the lifeboat station, the Drill Hall and the sailing club are all in the Local Plan for development. …”

One thought on “Sidmouth Herald: EDA Councillor Cathy Gardner sounds alarm over “eastern Sidmouth””

  1. Spot on Cllr Gardner. EDDC want to build, build, build on Sidmouth East Town. Expensive flats for favourite developers, crappy hotel for Premier Inn and completely ruined East end of the Esplanade.
    Let’s save the Drill Hall, which has the potential to be a wonderful community asset and set the tone for an East Town we want to preserve and develop in sympathy with its history and importance.
