Bexhill Against Landfill and Incineration is pledged to fight East Sussex County Council's plans under the recent Waste and Mineral Planning Policy document - but the pressure group is fast running out of cash.

Given the strength of feeling in the town, and the huge turnout to the recent public meeting at Bexhill High School, this should in theory be easy to achieve.

If you are against the plans then please consider giving BALI a donation, even if it is a small one thanks to financial constraints in a recession.

If everyone who has shown support for the anti-landfill campaign can hand over some money, it will soon add up.

Without sufficient funds, the fight would be lost before it has really begun, and that would be a very great shame indeed.

Town's first blue plaque

IT'S yet another first for Bexhill - the blue plaque at Baird Court, Station Road, honouring Britain's foremost television pioneer.

John Logie Baird spent the last years of his life on the house which used to occupy the space taken up by the new development.

Given the list of other possible candidates for such an honour on page three, could we be seeing a spate of such plaques popping up all over the town?

It would be great if we did - Bexhill has much to be proud of.
