AS I write, there are only a few days left in which to lodge comments on the proposed West Durrington (Titnore) development with Worthing Borough Council.
Yet despite the council promising to explain to local residents what the impact on their lives will be, no such explanation has been received.
This worrying fact emerged at the open day arranged by those camped in the Titnore Woods in a brave att
empt to protect them from the effects of the planned development.
Comments from local visitors have included such views as "I walk my dog in the area daily and when I speak to people many say they're not fully aware of what's to be built".
Clearly, the council has a duty of care to ensure everyone is made aware of the full implications that five or more years of dug-up roads and heavy lorry traffic will have on normal life.
The deadline of October 9, 2008, for comments must be extended now so that can happen.
