1- When developers released a statement that they were going to build a luxury new hotel at the local beach, everyone in the town was very excited. There have been talks for years about opportunities for new developments, but they never seem to happen. We all have to seize the opportunity and realise that the hotel will not only give us work, but offer improvements to the whole area around the beach. The developers have promised a new road with wide pavements to and from the beach and a replacement of the sad old beach restaurants which have been there for years.

2- My investigation also revealed a plan to build several new roads to the beach which will affect bird and animal life in a sensitive nature area.

I plan to join the other protesters who want a suspension of the building work until we know exactly how many jobs will go to local people. Tension will also continue until the plans for new roads are moved away from the sensitive nature areas.
