A PORTLAND man claims Dorset Council has failed to tell all his neighbours about a housing scheme which he believes has the potential to clog up Sweethill Road and cause traffic to back up into Southwell. Phil Francombe, whose property in Sweethill Road backs onto the proposed housing site, says he had been canvassing for three days and, so far, has not found anyone else who knows about the plans. He believes the council should have directly informed everyone in all the roads likely to be affected. In his own case the letter telling him about the plans was dated April 1, but did not reach him until April 9. He says the deadline for public comment is tomorrow - Saturday, April 17.
