Uckfield Development in the local paper:

"A questionnaire was sent out by St James's Investments following a public exhibition in September."
I don't think that "sent out" means "was made available for a small period of time if people knew when and where to look and was then available from Tesco customer service desk under the lottery tickets behind a pillar"
"'We are delighted with the positive response so far... " Mr Tappin said.
Unfortunately they didn't ask "Do you like these proposals?" Tick Yes or No so their carefully worded questions got the responses that they were expecting.
'There are more than 300 additional spaces in our proposals. There will be a slight increase in spaces in the Luxford car park and the rest at Tesco which will be housed under the store, although not underground, will be free for up to three hours.'
I suppose Luxford car park is slightly bigger but he doesn't mention how many spaces and whether spaces will be reserved for residents of the new residential block. Extra spaces at Tesco will presumably be free for 3 hours to customers of Tesco only with no guarantee that luxford will remain free.
"Many people filling in the questionnaires did not want new homes built in the town centre. But affordable homes for the elderly and first-time buyers were needed."
This seems to mean "People objected to homes being built in the town centre but tough luck you need them so your opinion doesn't count."
Actually he doesn't say what people thought of the idea of having a Tesco store the size of the new Wembley Stadium in the town centre. Oh No! Thats because they didn't ask people that question..
