In advance of the forthcoming Area Committee meeting on 6 February, I see that MIA have posted the following claim on the 'Latest News' thread: 'This is your opportunity to show the Councillors who remain neutral on the issue of a Hibbert Lane supermarket, that the majority of people in Marple oppose that development.'
The population of Marple is around 23,500. 392 people have objected to the planning application. At the risk of stating the obvious, 392 is not a majority of 23,500.
