Town Planning Board
- Write Your Letter Now

Myself and three other residents who live in Mid-levels have applied to the Town Planning Board to rezone the Former Police Quarters.

We believe that making a legal challenge to aspects of the Government's plans for the redevelopment of Central will put both the Government and the Town Planning Board 'on notice' about the public's feelings about the pending destruction of Central. Full explanations about our application and reasons for seeking rezoning are at the links below.

To make our application to the Town Planning Board stronger we are seeking your support by WRITING LETTERS OF SUPPORT FOR REZONING to the Town Planning Board - support letters must reach the Town Planning Board by 23 September 2005. You may use the sample letter (in Word) from the link below - please add your own comments.

Many thanks for your support.

John Batten
