Elaina,
I have had quite a few refferals back to me from people who are looking to buy here in Uzumlu.
They have asked their builders about the cement factory and some, if not all builders, are not giving them the truth. Some have been told within the last 2 weeks that it is not going ahead, others have been told it will enhance their properties value and others say it will not affect the area. Most of these builders use Urantas cement and seem fearful of upsetting the man.
I can understand your feelings and Stoops as its a no win situation for sellers and buyers.
The frustrating thing is that all Emlaks and builders have been asked to help stop this factory but only 2 Emlaks have done anything by way of contacting the working group and attending meetings. Not one builder has attended any meetings to offer help.
It will kill their businesses as no buyers will equal no sales but they seem unable or unwilling to see this. Short term gain!
If I am asked I will truthfully tell people the current situation and the proposed future activities planned but unfortunately the builders attitude is " If the buyer doesn't ask then we don't mention it".
As someone who has run my own business, in the past, I can partly understand this attitude but I cannot accept that they are unwilling to work with us to stop it.
Real shame, but the fight is now in the hands of the lawyers and we will not give up!
Thanks for everyones continuing support and keep sending out the letters.
Thanks
Fi
