Persuade
the College that there are alternative uses for the site.
Stop
a supermarket buying the land and sitting on it until they gain
planning permission by showing that public opinion is against it NOW
before it gets to planning application stage.
Keep
our local shops because if we lose them we lose part of our community.
We
would urge you to sign up to the
petition and write to the College, MP, Councillors and Stockport Planning
Department.
Attend
public meetings and join in our protest
Marple Area Committee was so overwhelmed by the number of people attending
the meeting on Wednesday 27 July that they had to move it outside into the
park but even so we need more support. Keep your eye on our latest news
page and the Marple Community Forum for details of public meetings and
protests.
Offer
specialist help
Marple in Action has a number of technical and professional people working behind the scenes to oppose CAMSFC plans to sell the Hibbert lane campus to a supermarket chain. There is much to do, and we can use all the help we can get, so if you have related skills, expertise or knowledge and would like to help please get in touch using our hotline number or
email your contact details to
Display
our poster in your window or garden
Wherever you live but especially if you live near to the college. Download
a poster yourself here.
Write
letters and emails voicing your objections in your own words
Personal letters explaining how a giant
supermarket on Hibbert Lane would effect you and your own personal views
about this matter will have far more impact than standard letters.
However, we will provide some guidance to help you if you need it.
Write
to the College Principal and the Board of Governors.
We do not have
private addresses for for the Governors so write to each c/o the college
marking the envelopes "Private and Confidential":
