Ecotricity
have submitted a planning application for a large development up by Junction 13.
This includes a Football Stadium and an Eco Park (industrial units).
Full details can be seen at
A Public consultation drop-in meeting was hosted by Ecotricity
in the Village Hall on 4th Feb.
The Parish Council took an ‘exit poll’ from all those attending, the results of which were as follows:
Eastington Non
Total residents residents
The number who said 'NO' to the proposal 117 101 16
The number who said 'YES' to the proposal 23 16 7
The number who responded 'Don't Know' 10 7 3
Total responses: 150 124 26
The Parish Council's purpose for the poll was to have our own data to compare to anything Ecotricity published from the event.
Update: 21/02/2016:-
Consideration of the proposals by the Council have been delayed for at least three months, as Ecotricity have been asked to re-draw their ‘inadequate’ traffic models and provisions.

Thanks are due to Cllr Stephen Davies for his attention to this matter.
