Welcome to the 36 Grays Lane guestbook.

Please feel free to express your feelings below, but try to keep it polite!

It seems that the guestbook software is throwing a few glitches. We've had a few reports of random "permanent bannings" and posts disappearing. Please accept our apologies if either of these happen to you and, if you want to enter a message but it won't allow you, feel free to email your message and the name / location you'd like put to the email on the home-page

We've found that the vast majority of Ashtead residents are overwhelmingly supportive of SSAFA, Headley Court, the Armed Forces and our campaign. The 90 or so objectors, and their attitudes, do not represent most Ashtead residents from everything we've seen. Please, in thanks to all those people, bear that in mind when posting!

Thank you to everyone who's helped achieve this wonderful result. We've known from the outset that the concerns raised were misplaced. SSAFA and the families concerned will now have the chance to prove that. We know they'll be more than equal to the task.

Oh, and thanks for all the fish

Even us rough, uncouth, ockers in Australia recognise that people that sacrifice themeselves for the good of others deserve RESPECT and should not be traet as doormats, to be used and then discarded.

Shame on you

 Hi I welcome the idea of temporary living accomodation for the families of injured servicmen ( and i think they deserve all they can get and its money worthwhile spent ), but there needs to be some thought on the location for this , I myself live in Ashtead no where near Grays Lane , if the house was down my road there would be no objections from me but the residents of Grays Lane do have a point about the change of use of a house in their road , sorry if this is against the grain of most peoples feeling , personally i feel its unjust to comment if the individuals have not visited Grays Lane themselves , in hindsight before purchasing the property would it not of been reasonable to make sure that the purchase was fit and legal for its proposed use ?

Admin reply: Grays Lane has been visited, measured, mapped, photographed and reported upon in depth by several members of the campaign to have this application approved. Those reports have then been made available for all to see and make it quite clear that the objections raised by those represented by APEM are not of substance. I'm sorry, but like the objectors, your post here holds little water.

 I've got no links with the armed services in any way, so fortunately have never had the need to experience the help & support offered here. But you don't have to have those links to appreciate how valuable a facility like Grays Lane would be for the families of those injured while serving our country. Best of luck with your campaign.

 I have friends who have used the services provided by Headley Court and know the excellent work that is done there. I have emailed everyone in my contacts making them aware of the petition and asking them to sign it, I can't believe that there are some people who are so small minded to raise such bizarre objections, when lets face it they would probably be amonsgt the first demanding the support of the services if they were in danger. Having had the services working so hard in the local community this week during the flooding (along with local companies). It is hard to imagine why people are prepared to question providing support to them and their families in their time of need, when they are there for some many others when they are needed.

 If some of the residents who have objected to this scheme live where I live and see, on a weekly basis, coffins brought back from Iraq and Afghanistan, they would appreciate the sacrifices our service men and women are making for this country. Do they realise the devastating effect on morale their petty objections have on those serving? These people are beneath contempt - they are a disgrace to this country.

 I would like to thank all the members of the Ashtead community who took the time to take and read one of the leaflets yesterday. Without exception they expressed disgust and dismay at the actions of the residents of Grays Lane. Ladies and gentleman I can assure you it is fully understood these people do not speak on your behalf.

Once again many thanks for your support, hopefully commonsense will prevail next Wednesday evening and the correct decision will be made.

Regards

E-mail: nospam@nospam.com 		It is hard to believe that people can be so narrow minded, and short sighted, the objections seem so petty and contrived, it is just another example of how indifferent people can be to the courage, and self sacrifice, of our armed services.I sincerely hope that these objections can be overcome.
