There was. Came from leaked/FOIA'd Town Council minutes and posted here. I still have the screenshots. That set the stage. I would be given to thinking things may have changed in the interim, however several individuals who are intimately (and I stress intimately) in the know confirm it is still on for the dates previously mentioned.

None? At all? Whatsoever? 4.5 months of nothingness?

There is a deployment arriving within the next 2 weeks, local residents and town council are all aware of this, complete rubbish that there are no more deployments.

Oh I do wish this thread was locked and people could just wait and see; you know, like the "good old days" that a large number of people keep going on about being so much better...

I heartily concur, too many 'in the know' experts who have the information we all desire, or do they?
Lets wait and see.
If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!
