Get Down To Lyminge

The Stringers Common spirit should be attracting hoardes of pixies to Lyminge Forest where another ridiculously possible victory is waiting to be won. The Forestry Commission have been 'obliged' to sell 440 acres of forest to Rank Organisation for their planned holiday village but the planning permission states that the land must be vacant before the sale can even go ahead. Although possession orders have been granted, like at Guilford, the more difficult and expensive evictions look then the more likely it'll be that they just won't happen. There's lots of speculation about when so the call is out now for people who want to work. Other attractions are the site's proximity to the coast, the upcoming fruit picking season in the 'Garden of England and the totally tatted Forestry Commission's log cabin toilets.
