Mayfield Development

There have been several reports from residents who have been asked to participate in a housing opinion telephone poll.  Participants have raised concerns about the wording of the questions which they feel are extremely misleading. It has been confirmed that this poll has been commissioned by a company called Meeting Place Communications which has members of Mayfields on its staff.   Please be extremely wary if you receive the call and view this link for the whole story.
