Go! News
Latest Update following
Tesco's letter to TVBC as reported in the Andover Advertiser 17th
October 08
GO! has spoken to Goodman
about Tesco's comments and we have seen the response that was issued to
the local press.
Goodman states that the
airfield site can and will only be occupied by companies that are
willing to comply with the conditions and restrictions imposed by the
Council on a planning consent. There is no question seeking to revisit
the conditions and restrictions at a later date. They remain committed
to delivery a quality business park for Andover that complies with the
requirements of the Council's Local Plan.
We welcome Goodman's commitment to stand by the
routeing agreement. This is a fundamental part of the planning
application and must be enforced.
There are a number of
other detailed issues which Goodman has said it will address. Like
everyone else, we need to be satisfied that all of the commitments can
be met.
In the meantime,
GO! continues to support the principle
of Goodman's planning application and will do our best to ensure it
delivers the widest possible benefits for Andover - and as you will
know, ensuring that Andover benefits from this major investment
opportunity is the main objective of GO!

The GO!
Campaign is holding a meeting at The Lights on November 6th at 7pm for its
supporters.
GO!
will be presenting to its supporters full details of the Andover Airfield
proposal, and a comprehensive view of another successful Goodman developed
mixed-use business park in the UK. This useful comparison will demonstrate a
business park of warehousing, quality office space, starter and high-tech units,
and hotels - just as is proposed for Andover.
Because of the volume of interest shown, tickets for this event will be
available in advance. These may be obtained from Denise McAllister at The Cabin
Cafe, 34 Bridge Street, Andover. (phone 01264 336877 or 07798 577522)
GO!
will also be back on the market on the Saturdays of 25th October and
15th November which will give us further opportunities to meet and chat
with folk about this great opportunity for the town, and encourage support.

and giving the campaign their support

Wednesday 24th September 2008
The public Launch Meeting of GO! Campaign on 24th September
2008 was held at The Station Hotel, Andover.
The meeting was arranged at short notice after the Planning Committee
decision on 1st September, yet was still attended by 60+
supporters of the Andover Airfield Development.
The first of 5000 postcards in support of the development were
distributed at the meeting.
Thank you everyone who came along and gave the campaign the belief that
the silent voices in Andover were ready to be heard! |
