Another heated but productive meeting last night in the Village Hall.
Professor Kline, a local resident, has been in touch personally with Maria Eagle, she has responded to his letters and is now fully aware of the situation.
Again, Peter Millea failed to attend, perhaps he was too busy watching Liverpool play? Why we bother with this man is beyond me. As one gentleman said last night, if he won't come to the meeting, let's take the meeting to him! Great idea!
Again, Jack Allen Holdings refused to participate in the meeting. This leads me to believe:-
1 They are surprised by the level of local opposition and are reluctant to face angry, informed and co-ordinated residents.
2 They are using this as a diversion and stalling tactic, so that as we are busy arranging meetings, they are concentrating their efforts elsewhere.
After talking to my archaeological colleagues, and reading what passes for the Environmental and Archaeological Impact Assessment allegedly performed by Jack Allen Holdings, I believe that there could, IF THERE WAS ENOUGH LOCAL SUPPORT AND INTEREST be grounds for further investigation of the area. In order to request that the City Council's own archaeology unit take a look at the site, there needs to be significant and sustained local interest in the history and archaeology of the area.

Obviously, as stated before, I am a student archaeologist, and by no means an expert, but it seems to me that a site with "multi-phased occupancy" (i.e. in use since Roman times) would be very interesting!
Date of next meeting to be decided, but probably 2 weeks.
In the meantime,
