We just hit one hundred signatures against the council land grab. Cheshire East Council needs to understand that we are watching them and we are not going to let them pave over our green belt for a useless road.

Having looked at the proposals, I consider them flawed in several respects. Macclesfield needs housing for its aged population these will not be met in an out of town development. There are lots of brown site in the centre of town which would be more of a benefit to develop. The H2S scheme will not provide prosperity to Macclesfield in fact it may have the opposite effect.
No justification to encroach into green belt land. There is sufficient brown land to satisfy local housing need..Certainly no need for a link road in the proposed area as this would only support the new housing development. There is already an A road from Congleton to Monks Heath where it joins the A537.
The development of green belt is a opportunity for huge profits to be made, little or no social housing is included. The reason given, not enough profit on such housing!
There is no need to use green belt land there are sufficient brown field sites. Area between Parsonage Street and Park Lane is a good example. The council are being dictated to by the developers . The town centre needs developing first, as there are insufficient shops to attract people to the town, lost its character. Congleton, Alderley Edge, Wilmslow are much more attractive.
Council could sort traffic chaos out at congleton road/moss lane before causing any more traffic hold ups with extra housing problems.
The preservation of the green belt around Macclesfield is essential as it is all that separates Macclesfield from the ever increasing urban sprawl that is Stockport and Manchester
The beautiful landscape of Macclesfield is being ruined by large soulless hosing estates. There is plenty of brown field sites to develop such as run down mills and empty shops. I understand we need social housing but not in our beautiful greenbelt.

We need to save our green belt land. Once it has gone it can never be restored, and it could just be the start of more incursions into these valuable areas. There are lots of unsightly brown field sight that must be developed as a first priority. Not our wonderful countryside.
