Over 80 members of the public attended the June meeting of the parish council to voice their concerns and opposition to proposed housing development sites on the southern boundary of Stokenham village. The sites in question result from a detailed exercise the results of which are open to comment up to 2nd July 2010. Council agreed to convey to the district council the strength of feeling expressed by many of those present. A minority of those attending some 13% indicated support for the proposals expressing the view that there was an urgent need for additional housing to sustain the well being of the village. Council emphasised the need for individuals to write to the district council with their comments before the end of the period of consultation.
