We both support an ECCO comment.

Hi all
So far six households seem to support ECCO making a comment on this
planning application. However, one other household would like Nonnas to
stay open later. They think ECCO should not comment as an organisation.
I suggest that we ask all our members (including those not subscribed to
ECCOtalk) what they would prefer. Then we should only comment as an
organisation if many more households agree than disagree. Perhaps we need
at least two thirds of those expressing an opinion to agree.
If ECCO chooses to comment as an organisation then I would prefer to focus
on the core point. Then people who want to comment on other points can do
so individually. This would result in a wide variety of comments being sent
to the Planning Authority.
I suggest that the core point is that we like Ecclesall Road having a
thriving restaurant and bar scene but it should take account of our mixed
residential area in which there are many households with young children and
ones with elderly people as well.
The compromise whereby restaurants and bars close at 11.00 or 11.30 PM and
close their terraces at 9.00 or 9.30 PM has been accepted by the Planning
Authority for many years and we don't think it should be changed now.
