Yesterday , I attended a local housing consultation in Ashorne village where I learned of plans for 12 large-scale housing developments. This ludicrous idea seems to be firmly underpinned by financial gains of a few rather than the current community that currently exists.

I completely disagree with these proposals. It’s clear that big developers and their consultants are driving this plan, presenting biased analysis that prioritizes profit over sustainability, quality of life, and local interests. We need a better, more considered approach—one that distributes housing more evenly across the county, prevents infrastructure overload, and ensures that development works for us, not just for developers.

Surely a dispersed housing scheme makes more sense. This approach ensures a more balanced distribution of housing, infrastructure, and economic benefits while protecting the character and sustainability of towns and villages.

The traffic in our local area is already extremely heavy and the infrastructure needed for such projects is simply not in place. Our local GP surgery is already under pressure and as a local primary school teacher, I know without question that the resources we have are inadequate for the families we already serve, without any additional stress.

I find the current state of events truly worrying and unjustifiable.
