Why they look so proud
of their achievement is questionable.
The gang of four are at it again.
Bulldozers and building is all they understand and, though many promises
were made to Priory Vale residents about the state of the art Village Centre, residents
now find that a back door application has been processed to build 33 extra houses.
Not one in the gang of
four called it into planning committee for consideration thus sealing the fate
forever of the cafe culture that residents were promised.
It appears that the
developer, Crest Nicholson, is being blamed for the fact that it was asking for
a fair market price for its land holdings.
Surely, Conservative councillors would support free market, striving
businesses?
Therefore Crest
Nicholson, as developer, has only done what is expected. Yet, Justin Tomlinson
MP tells us that developers would not try to take advantage. How can an MP say one thing about development
in an article one day and then contradict himself the next day in an article in
the same newspaper.
People in Priory Vale
have expressed dismay that there is a definite possibility of a maybe that at
some point in the future there could well be a community building of
sorts.
What we do know, that
is definitely happening, is that there is no doctor’s surgery, nursery provision,
retail units or a pub being built on that site.
Now that’s outrageous
and it’s scandalous that our local politicians have done it again so soon after
Tadpole Farm and Mouldon Hill Country Park.
