New Plan B Poster

This is the newest poster that Plan B have put out, using the results of the huge survey they did last year. 1,000 survey forms were returned.

So, 94% of the people surveyed said that the government should fund the school.
82% said that they believed a supermarket would cause local shops to close.
81% said that they thought a supermarket would increase traffic in Hay.
78% said they thought fewer people would come into Hay to shop if there was a supermarket.
75% believed that a supermarket would cause job losses and light pollution.
73% thought that a supermarket would not mean cheaper food.
70% thought there would be an increase in refuse if there was a supermarket.

And 76% said that they wanted to see a new school on the current site.

Meanwhile, Gareth Ratcliffe has posted on his Facebook page that the County Council are promising a new 240 pupil school for Hay within two years. This sounds wonderful, but the rest of his post is a bit confusing. He says that the County Council have been in discussions with a developer, but it's unclear if this is the same developer who was involved originally, or someone else entirely.

Plan B for Hay are holding their AGM on 18th March at 7pm in the Parish Hall.
