LETTER: This disgraceful propaganda
Nor does the document mention that nine Eastbourne councillors strongly oppose this sale.
As has been stated in the Herald letters pages, the claim that restrictive covenants protect our downland is simply untrue. These covenants have no validity once the farms change ownership. This habitat, wildlife, scenic beauty and even the health of the town’s residents would be at risk.

Indeed, who colluded at the Town Hall with the supporters of this disgraceful propaganda exercise that bears no resemblance to a genuine consultation of opinion?
