The phone calls and emails from neighbors have been constant lately and they reflect the deep exhaustion we all feel regarding this application. I am spending my evenings gathering information on G4S to ensure the council understands why we are fighting this proposal so hard. We are tired but we are not stepping back.

Reaching this level of support has been a long and exhausting process for us all. It is becoming clear that our neighborhood is not willing to sit back while this application moves forward against our collective wishes.

This is a totally inappropriate area to house these young people. The residents are mostly retired, and the area is very quiet. There is very little to occupy young people in the vicinity, so there is the potential for boredom and associated unrest.
Totally inappropriate location for this proposal. Middle of a residential area, and next to a busy and dangerous traffic island. In addition group 4 have shown themselves to be incompetent at running these types of homes.
This proposal is in totally the wrong place. My own children have grown up in the area and during that time we have been a taxi service to them as we have no regular bus service. Children need stimulation . There is nothing to do around here. Will the staff ferry the children to and fro?
Totally unsuitable site for the proposed change. alck of outdoor space.Parking would be a new nightmare. Local residents would be vulnerable. Number of occupants would probably be increased without warning.
can only agree with what others have said, there is no sensible reason to put this home in Nuthall, there isnt anything in Nuthall to keep the children occupied and with G4S's poor record of running these homes it can only bring problems to the people who choose to live here.
I strongly object. G4S are known to have a poor reputation for these types of homes and its security. Also retired people and family homes very close by. Not Exceptable.

Not a suitable area, on a traffic island, easy access for them to get on buses to city centre and very near the motorway junction making them vulnerable. also risk of lack of security for themselves and neighbours
