RAID is about
OUR community

  • Keeping local democracy - having a say that counts  
  • Securing what's best for the whole town and the local environment
  • Getting proper solutions - not quick fixes and more problems

  • RAID is not about

    • Political preferences   
    • Tempting incentives
    • Halting JUSTIFIED development


    RAID hasn't got

    • A swish website (sorry!) 
    • Unlimited resources
    • Lobbying access to Government

    RAID has got

    • A duty to tell you what is happening - and why
    • Questions that need a truthful answer
    • Respect for our community and future 

    RAID is not about politics. We have a Government that was elected democratically
    Our MP, Head of NLC and NLC Councillors are NOT members of RAID
    However, we didn't vote for it to ride roughshod over established planning protocol and local democracy
    We want our town and local community to be developed in a sensible and phased way that protects the environment and gives us an infrastructure and traffic system that can cope
    We want the town to retain and develop its original Market Town character and not turn into an oversized dormitory town with no identity or soul.
    We want to retain ecologically friendly fields, not concrete, as Barton upon Humber's Southern gateway
    RAID did not seek this fight. The people concerned have far better things to do. It was brought upon us due to potential radical changes to planning policy and a developer apparently very eager to make the most of this  
    RAID believes that the Banks proposal is purely for commercial gain and that it will not benefit this community and - contrary to publicity - it will merely amplify current problems
    Therefore RAID is determined to fight hard and at the highest level - because the future of this town and community is at stake
    HAVE YOUR SAY TOO !!
