Sandown 'consultation'; Opening old Wounds?

The event taking place in Nairn this week (see 'Gurn' here for several posts) has released a deal of emotional turmoil in the APTSec bosom - perhaps I am not alone?


Someone suggested to me that perhaps what I was feeling at the moment was due to the opening up of 'old wounds'.  Thinking about it the wounds have never closed to be opened again; they continue to suppurate.  


The Planning Authority has never satisfactorily addressed what I see as the really sore points of contention that we have placed before them over the years and many outstanding issues remain despite the fact that the formal Highland-wide Local Development Plan is now in its final pre-adoption phases.  


The Authority has never sought to offer any truly 'healing' support; they allow the perception to fester that if enough pain is piled on those who seek to fairly and politely challenge their actions then eventually we will be worn down and fade away.
