Planners behind a new super-dairy in Lincolnshire held a meeting with residents, after telling the Echo it was to be cancelled.
A meeting had been planned to take place last night, but the Echo were sent a statement reading: "We feel that because of the level of national interest the project has generated, the proposed meeting will no longer be the best forum for local residents to be able to voice and discuss their genuine concerns."
But it has now emerged the meeting was instead held at 2.30pm, although neither residents or the press were given notice of the change of time.
For a full report on the meeting, see www.fwi.co.uk/Home
A further meeting, arranged by Nocton Parish Council, is being held at the village hall this evening from 7pm.

“As per usual big business doesn't give a damn about local residents. Lies, lies and more lies. Check out their website to see more manure about how little it will affect the local area. If it's jobs for locals then why the accomodation block? No one wants it but with enough backscratching at government level and the fact the councils can't afford to go to court on appeal, it'll get built.”

“This was not a meeting to which residents of Nocton or any of the other affected neighbouring villages were invited - The applicants chose to drop in on a pre-arranged lunch for some of Nocton's more elderly residents. Let's face it, there is no legal requirement for them to meet with local neighbours, but this is an interesting interpretation of the concept of public consultation...”

“If Nocton Factory Farm is ever built the smell will be so bad the county will have to change its name to "Stinkolnshire".”
