Petition created by Milford Residents for Sustainable Developments

As we write, a petition started by the Milford Residents for Sustainable Developments is approaching 500 signatures, and increasing quickly.

The petition is entitled: 'Halt the Overdevelopment of Countryside in NFDC controlled areas.'

The petition starts: "We are residents of Milford on Sea, deeply concerned about the rapid and unsustainable development that is taking place in our beautiful countryside. Our local infrastructure including highways, schools, and sewerage systems are already strained to their limits. Yet, there seems to be no end to the concreting over of our green spaces."

To see the petition and to read the full statement, please click here.

David Brockett served as a Catering officer in the RAF between 1957 and 1959 and was on Christmas Island during the tests in 1958. 

The servicemen present at the nuclear tests were required to turn their backs to the explosion and then to turn around to witness the results.

Colonel John de Candole MC, 
David Brockett & family
The fact that Colonel de Candole presented the medal was of particular note as he also wears the same medal for witnessing earlier tests in Australia. 

After the surprise presentation the two veterans were able to compare their experiences surrounded by David’s family and friends.

---------------------------
