We feel it would be a major inconvenience to have a housing estate along the main route children take to the infant school and nursery. It could also add to the danger cars present.

As usual no thought given to the consequences, ie loss of trade to shops & safety aspect. Further to walk round for elderly & children & more roads to cross. What was a previous suggestion, that's right, demolish the garages at the back of the shops & build houses effectively closing most of the shops down as they use the garages for storage.

This is a vital space and should not be built upon

This land provides a safe environment for local school children, the playgroup and elderly residents who need easy access to shops and the local bus.

New homes are important but should be looked at on a case-by-case basis and the public and local community should be consulted. This area of land is very well used by the community and is especially important for people who walk their children to nearby Westlands Primary School and for elderly residents in Aspire Housing who use the footpath as a cut-through to nearby shops.

Don't the Tories want councils to build more homes? Aren't they actually incentivising them to do it (new homes bonus?). Nimby Tories with crocodile tears. Sod off

The green space is very precious and is much needed to the local area, the path through the land is also vital. I understand that the path will remain but I cannot imagine it will be as used as it is now if it passes through a housing estate.
