Yes, Bill, you have missed the point
The answer to Bill Sadler's (rhetorical?) question, "Have I missed the point about Hatchfield Farm?" is, of course, a resounding, "Yes, Bill, you have."
Nobody wants to prevent sustainable housing development using the ample Brownfield sites that exist in Newmarket to ensure that there is sufficient housing supply for the town's current and foreseeable needs.
However, to permit a vast area of prime agricultural Greenfield land in Newmarket to be used for not merely 1200 houses, but for a massive 36,000 sq mtrs of industrial/employment development (equivalent to around 13 Tesco megastores) will destroy our unique and historic town, the worldwide centre of horseracing and turn it into a faceless, traffic gridlocked urban sprawl. People will not want to have their horses trained in Newmarket, when it is no longer a rural market town.
Bill Sadler also "missed the point" when he inexplicably, outspokenly berated us all and opposed the Charles II statue project which the community he represents so enthusiasticallysupported.
It is no coincidence that the entire Racing and Breeding community and many of the residents of Newmarket are unanimously opposed to Lord Derby's self enriching Hatchfield Farm money making scheme.
It is very worrying to hear that Bill Sadler's partner, Mrs Janet Rose Clark, has been selected by the local Conservative Party for the forthcoming Newmarket Town Council elections. We would like to be told whether, if Mrs Clark were elected to Newmarket Town Council, she, too would ignore the informed views of the Racing and Breeding Industries and members of Save Historic Newmarket Action Group and lend her support, contrary to Conservative Party policy, to the Hatchfield Farm development proposal, which our former Conservative MP, Richard Spring described as obscene.
