The Stage 2 Pump Track development went ahead, causing great distress to many, and the large-scale bulldozing of the grasslands next to Baz and Shaz’s shop is in progress, causing resounding shock for its size and impact on this quiet residential environment and the very close neighbours. The way it has been publicised, misleading movable facts, without proper heat, noise, traffic impacts made public, no EIS, and no proper consultation with those gravely and permanently affected, is now well known.
Given the council’s unexpected Stage 2 approval at Christmas time, with no time for shocked submissions, the council was either caught in a dilemma that could be expensive, or did this deliberately. Sadly no-one stepped up at the time to speak for the uninformed neighbours, and now there are already grave heat, noise, and traffic issues – even without all the regional clubs coming. So we (the affected neighbours) have a few suggestions to Mayor Richardson
