Dear supporter, The numbers of signatories to this petition, and the comments people have been making, are vital evidence that the people of Cornwall are increasingly upset and angry at the Council's ill-considered and unsustainable growth agenda. This evidence is an embarrassment to the Council - it has never before had to deal with such widespread and unified criticism of its planning agenda. We are heading towards 5,000 signatories, at which point the Council is required by its own policies to debate the petition. At that time, a small delegation will present our evidence to the Council and a press release sent out accordingly. Right now, we need your help to reach, and surpass, this critical figure of 5,000. We are asking you to persuade just ONE other person that you know to sign the petition - it could be a friend, a relation or a work colleague. If everyone who has signed this to date undertakes this simple task, we would be way beyond 5,000 and closer to 10,000 signatures! PLEASE HELP NOW and persuade someone you know to sign. We know from your comments how important Cornwall is to you, and the support we have received to date has been really encouraging. There are thousands more people out there who are unhappy at the continued destruction of Cornwall at the hands of the Council's planners but who have not yet, for various reasons, become aware of, and signed the petition. Clearly, the more people that sign, the greater our impact. With your help, we really can make a difference! PLEASE HELP NOW and persuade someone you know to sign. Thank you for your support.
