RE: Concorde Village
Mrs H and the rest of you -- Thanks for yours. Just a couple of things to add from my involvement.
* Trading Standards have decided that there is nothing they can get involved with because PP's registered office is not in Hounslow.
* I always try to take care not to stray from the facts. I've heard lots of stories about hard sell selling techniques and claims that are clearly dishonest. However I haven't seen any of this first hand and what I have seen, whilst it might not be the whole storey, is not wrong. I have complained to PP in the past about them not telling the whole storey but, whilst they said they would check their facts with their experts, nothing seems to have changed. I take care, despite all temptations, not to give investment advice - even inadvertently. I don't want to risk being sued by these people!!
* It is my hope to put a few words together for the web site but I haven't had a moment - and prospects don't look good.
* Things do seem to be quieter than they were but I did have an exchange with someone in Canada just yesterday.
* Please remember to let me know if anything changes from the Policy viewpoint.
Thanks - Simon

Concorde Village
Dear All
There have been a number of queries re Concorde village - a green belt site which does not yet have a planning application in nor planning permission. A company in Singapore and Canada is selling the plots of the site for residential - so understandably there are a number of individuals querying whether or not this site will actually be developed or not.
I attach example of how I have responded to some of the queries that have come through.
<< Message: RE: FW: Confirmation of General Enquiry submission >> << Message: RE: Concorde Village >> << Message: RE: Confirmation of General Enquiry submission >>
Simon Hoets in DC is the main contact for this - he is also in touch with trading standards as well. We have were possible tried to be consistent in how we've responded. We were going to put something onto the website re this however queries appear to have died down now.
The 'developer' of this site has sent in information re the site - which we will need to look at for the core strategy as the developer would like an amendment to the green belt. I have passed this on to PA/GB to keep with the development sites info.
Hope this all makes sense
Cheers
Mrs H
