Great that there's so much support for this - there were 100 people at the
meeting and plans are afoot! Although the meeting didn't talk about a mass
direct action campaign as the Oxford Times seems to think...
Anyone who wants to help out should come along to the next meeting (Thursday
March 13th at the Town Hall), or head over to westgatewatch.wordpress.com and
take part in the e-action and/or join the mailing list - thanks everyone.
The group is also starting to put together an alternative, positive proposal
for what should be done with the site - ideas so far include a proper public
transport hub, an eco-retrofit of the existing building, hundreds of new
affordable eco-homes, market space for local traders and a tram
station...anyone who has ideas to feed in or useful contacts to share can use
the comments on the westgatewatch blog or email
<email obscured>. If we can come up with a credible
alternative plan we might be able to get John Lewis to support us.
All the best,
