LETTER OF THE DAY: No bullying over Camber footpath
Congratulations to Kenneth Bailey and Anna Koor and the team for sticking at it and not allowing the council’s ‘we know best’ attitude to bully them into submission on the flimsy excuse that to grant a public footpath through the area would interfere with the use of the Camber Dock for statutory port duty.
The council has encouraged more residential use of the area, with the demise of the Vosper shipbuilding, and the transfer of the Isle of Wight car ferry to Gunwharf making the Camber area less busy then it used to be, and yet restrict locals from the very area they live in.
It’s a pity that this council has not listened at local forum meetings to people’s concerns.
