Received: 12/03/2019

Respondent: Mr N Walters

Representation Summary:

Dickens Heath has been overdeveloped and the original design concept has been destroyed. Council has ignored views of local residents and councillors. Size and number of dwellings far exceeds supporting infrastructure.
SMBC need to listen to local residents!

SMBC have continually ignored local residents, local Parish Councils and Councillors in Blythe re continued development in Dickens heath. I have lived here since 2003, I can no longer get in or out of the village at peak times in less than 20 minutes traffic pollution is horrendous, flooding is now a reality, power cuts are virtually weekly, local road infrastructure has been decimated over 20 years and the promised improvements never materialize! Dickens Heath is at breaking point SMBC need to stop dictating to local residents and start listening and acting for them, they created something remarkable but seem intent on destroying it.
