* * * Update - missing off the end credits was John McGhee (sitting in the middle) * * *Unsafe Scientology Coach FacilityAxiom1422017-05-16 | In August 2016, the Church of Scientology applied for planning permission to construct a coach park at their headquarters, near East Grinstead, England.
Just days after making the application, and without waiting for the application to go through due process (let alone being approved) they went ahead with construction...
And, just weeks later, the coach park was in use despite objections from local residents.
One of the main objections was that this new facility would not be safe as it involved full-sized coaches using an entrance located on a narrow country lane.
As we can see from the following video, the coach must veer onto the wrong side of the road in order to exit. And, on this occasion, into the path of two cyclists whom the driver (apparently) did not see.
(Also note the sunlight reflected from the windscreen of the coach, indicating a possible problem with sun glare from the right, reducing visibility.)
Surprisingly, the planning application has now been recommended for approval by Mid Sussex District Council (May 2017)...Homophobia at St HillAxiom1422016-10-03 | A security guard at the ironically-named 'Church' of Scientology at St Hill, near East Grinstead, United Kingdom, uses a homophobic slur against a critic of Scientology.Scientology - Royal Fleet Club Meeting (Devonport)Axiom1422016-06-01 | On the 29th May 2016, a meeting was held in the Devonport Guildhall to present opposition to plans by the Church of Scientology for a new centre in the Royal Fleet Club building, Devonport, Plymouth, England.
The CoS purchased this historic building in 2010, claiming that it was needed for the ‘needs of its followers’. In fact, it already has a building in Ebrington St, Plymouth which is more than sufficient for the handful of members it has or is likely to have in the future.
Local resident William Drummond gave a presentation on why planning permission for this new centre should be opposed.
If you are a Plymouth resident and oppose what the CoS plan to do – contact Plymouth City Council Planning Department and let them know your views!Russell Miller InterviewAxiom1422015-06-24 | DescriptionDublin 2015 William DrummondAxiom1422015-02-10 | Dublin 2015.

This videos shows the callous disregard that the CoS has for the health of the surrounding environment and was filmed over several days between Sep and Dec 2012.
*** Update - The 'Church' of Scientology was reported for health and safety violations. In 2015, they installed a new sewage system, but as usual, did a defective job. In 2018 they were fined around £14,000 and had to fix the problem.

Rubbish, including plastic, tyres and potentially explosive gas canisters are strewn about their grounds. Over time, the plastics will break down into smaller pieces and pollute the nearby countryside. Also, the gas canisters represent a serious danger of explosion if a fire were to break out at this site.
