IN your front-page story in last week's Shoreham Herald, Adur independent councillor Liza McKinney was reported as expressing her horror that the current owners of Kingston Barn wished to demolish the building.
She also suggested that the building should be restored and turned into a community facility.
In fact, from 1986 until its closure, Kingston Barn offered such a community facility.
The council's sale of the building prevented its further use f
or this purpose.
Adur District Council sought the agreement of the developers who originally gifted Kingston Barn to the community, to remove the covenants which had previously prevented it from being sold and used for anything other than community use.
That the council intended to do this was reported in the Herald on October 5, 2006.
These actions clearly paved the way to the current situation.
