IT TOOK YEARS, NOT MONTHS

Dear Ed,

Re: Let's get a few things straight about the Leisuredrome

I would like to correct Veritas on one point

The Parish Council agreed in principle at its December 2002 meeting (minute 723) that once the Hawkinge Youth and Community Trust had been set up it would lease the Spitfire Leisuredrome at a peppercorn rent to the trust.

So it took years trying to transfer the building to the Trust not months.

After three years, and with the cost to the Parish Council rising it was felt we had a duty to stop pouring the precept money into a bottomless pit.
