Well Mr
Fish relented. Torrential rain there was but the sea was kind and the Ferry dead on time. The Merse feels very remote from Norn Ireland; we seem to have moved a world away rather than 250 miles or so. But thoughts are still with Hutton and Paxton if only for the next day or two. Before we left for Erin parts deep husky throat with good connections in Planning was on the phone to speculate over the Laird and his wish to build Affordable Housing in Paxton. Why do it the hard way challenging the local plan in a place where further development is ruled out ( and is opposed by most villagers) instead of going two miles down the road to Hutton and offering land there which is already zoned for 6 buildings? Land, he points out offered for development by the self same Laird. Any thoughts on this via the usual channels please
