Support For Joe To Get His Bungalow

[tshirt]

I'm lost for words this feckin country

After losing both legs to an anti-tank mine while serving with the 40 Commando based at Helmand Province in Afghanistan, Joe is trying to rebuild his life.

Joe is a strong and determined person who is proud to be in the Marines. He deserved to be a Marine and would always give 110% in anything he did. Despite losing both legs, Joe still remains upbeat and optimistic.

To help Joe become more independent and closer to his family, his grandad decided to build a specially adapted bungalow on his own land to help Joe.The plans for his bungalow, which would have had a treatment room, a bedroom for a carer and an en- suite bathroom, were drawn up for free by an architect who wanted to thank Joe for his sacrifice.

But the council disagreed. A spokesman for Wealden Council said: “The circumstances in this case are not considered sufficient to warrant an exception to the usual restraint policies.” She also said Joe’s bungalow would be "intrusive" and breach planning laws even though no neighbours objected.

With many people already supporting Joe, this group is to get more people on board with the idea and help Joe get the bungalow he deserves.

I really couldn't think of a better cause and Noel has just gone way up in my estimations for his engagement in this.

Marine' to get home go-ahead'

An injured Royal Marine who was refused permission by a local council to build an adpated bungalow will be given the go-ahead, sources have said.

Wealden District Council in East Sussex is "going to make sure it happens" after PM Gordon Brown urged the authority to reverse its decision.

Joe Townsend, 20, lost both his legs after stepping on a landmine in Afghanistan in February last year.

I be thinking you lot have been a bit slow on this story...

It's all been pushed through and the council was forced to fold due to the demands of the masses (with the help of the Media fronted by Noel Edmunds!)
