JUST IN! News of the latest in that other area of the Deane's dirty dealings which could contribute to disaster for our village; the new garden centre (+350 houses to follow) on the Wellington - Milverton road.

THE SPECTATOR 20^th March 2010 How do you describe your sexual orientation?  Please tick:  Bisexual, Gay, Heterosexual, Lesbian? 

Do you identify yourself as transgender?  Yes? No? If yes, are you a male-to-female tranny, or a female-to-male one?
Why, I wonder, was Roger Mitchinson, a planning officer from the Taunton Deane Borough Council, last week seeking answers to these trivial and impudent questions from the inhabitants of Milverton, when his stated aim in coming to their beautiful Somerset village, was to "consult the village" on a scheme to erect a vast Toyland housing estate on a field of Grade 1 agricultural land overlooking the main street? 
Does a planning consultation really need to incorporate this sort of filth? The official answer to that question is this: "Taunton Deane Borough Council has a policy to monitor attendance at events to ensure we reach the diverse communities that we aim to serve."
