I've been going over the top as you would call it , between spondon and sandiacre for over 30 years and to think that they could put a road smack bang in middle is just taking the ****
I have just logged on to the Erewash Borough Council web site to read the Council minutes about what happened when Greensqueeze handed in the "petition" at the Council meeting on 24th September and it says that you would receive a response from the Director of Regulatory Services, Sue Blakeley within 7 days. Just wondered if you had received anything from her yet??
True to their word EBC did provide a formal response to our petition within the seven days. This was followed a day later by a letter inviting members of Green Squeeze to a meeting with the council’s chief executive with a view to hearing our concerns. On Friday the 16th October myself and three other members met with the Jeremy Jaroszek and other officers. During a meeting that lasted just under two hours we did indeed air many of our concerns particularly that EBC councillors were prevented from discussing the Stanton development ahead of any planning application being made. It now seems that this is not the case and that councillors will be receiving revised instruction on this in the near future.
There is no doubt that the meeting was useful and that further meetings will take place every eight weeks or so or if new information becomes available. In summary we came away pleased that communication has at least been established and that there is now a recognised route to air our fears and concerns directly to the council. Hopefully it will also provide a conduit along which will pass the hopes and visions of everyone determined not to squander this once in a lifetime opportunity to see Stanton become a flagship development, not only in Erewash but for the UK as a whole.
Totally agree - I have
Totally agree - I have talked to loads of people about this & everyone agrees it is a crazy idea
