First I hear about this is when a voting card comes through my door. And I am supposed to make an informed decision?

The neighbourhood plan has been under development for ages and covered in lots of places, local press etc.

The neighbourhood plan must be thoroughly rejected. It is an angry far-left socialist blueprint for destroying the economic and social aspirations of the town. It handcuffs, to lowest common denominator policies, entrepreneurial and buyer-focussed property developers who wish to supply the best housing to Lewes. It opposes the free market and is both anti-business and anti-improvement. It threatens to turn the clock back to the days of sliced bread and council houses. We are voting 'no'.

Along with Brexit, "Sensible" has just shown how not sensible referendums are. It's an abdication of duty on behalf of our elected officials.

First I heard of it too. Elected officials have to find out what their electors want, at least they should. Then there's the question of what reaction the elected have to the result of the referendum - will they carry it out or have another one hoping to get the "right" answer. Have you read it, Sensible? Is it green utopia transition town joke?

Must have missed those parts of the neighbourhood plan Sensible, which policies are they under?

TP, we have consultations and all sorts of opportunities to give opinions and feedback. Maybe if we make sure everyone knows this is an advisory referendum they'll be happy for the vote to be treated that way given they didn't join in previously?
