Since then over 250 more supporters have signed the 'save our skyline' petition. We will continue collecting signatures up to the planning decision date.
In addition the e-petition can be signed here:
www.change.org/p/toby-feltham-reject-plans-for-high-rise-buildings-in-kingston
The e-petition is particularly effective because when you sign, you are sending your opposition as a letter to the email accounts of several Councillors and to Planning.
Why is it important to get petition signatures?
The strength of opposition is taken into account when the Planning Department makes its recommendation to accept or refuse the planning application.
The final decision though is made by a committee of elected Councillors.
The strength of opposition also applies political pressure on our elected Councillors who need to listen and take heed of what their constituents are saying - if they want to keep their jobs!
