- Sun 07-Dec-2008 - It is with deepest regret that we learnt that Mr Morgan (the applicant) passed away.
He died at home during the day on Sunday 7th December.
Our thoughts are with Mr Morgan's family and friends, and we posted our sincere condolences on this site for the rest of December.
Unless Mr Morgan's family withdraw the application, it continues to the existing timetable and we have to continue to fight it on that basis.

Thanks to you all for sparing us the time, your involvement in the debate, and for making some very generous and helpful donations/pledges.
Special thanks also go to Howard and Chris for presenting the meeting.
