The Society has been active in opposing this development, and has attended two meetings with Connexin arranged by our MP, Graham Stuart. In the first we succeeded in getting an undertaking that poles would not be erected within our Conservation Areas, and that their recently installed unsightly large white cabinet at the junction of Champney Road and Lairgate would be repainted green (recently completed). Both the press (Beverley Life) and Graham Stuart’s Office have recorded the undertaking by Connexin not to erect poles within Beverley’s Conservation Areas. The Society has also received direct confirmation of this policy from Connexin. Of course, the Conservation Areas cover only part of Beverley which leaves the rest of the town at risk and we shall continue to do what we can to protect these areas. Following our last public meeting addressed by Civic Voice, we have requested that they make representations to both Ministers and Public Officials with whom they liaise on many planning matters.
