Dear Sir or Madam

I would like to lodge a formal complaint against the decision taken yesterday and those who made it.

In my view, those who voted against the advice given by their own Councillors and with no planning reasons are going to cost me money as a Council Tax payer.

There is absolutely no point in commissioning reports, only for those to be totally disregarded. National Planning guidelines are also there for a reason and again, it was my money spent on drawing them up.

Not only have they voted Tesco out, but unbelievably, they have voted FOR a plan which is described as being a threat to the Town Centre. It also appears that they do not know if their reasons for doing so are legal. They should have sought advice on this before the meeting and not after.

I believe a full investigation is required into why they appeared to so blatently disregard everything as it is not their money that will fund this, but that of the local taxpayer.

I feel that this was one of the most undemocratic decisions ever taken, personal feelings over-rode the wishes of many of the local people.

A response to this would be much appreciated and I will be following this subject intensely.
Yours faithfully
