Status Update (Keep Writing Those Letters !!!)

Thank-you to everyone who went to the Parish Council Meeting at the Village Hall last week. It was a great turnout and there were many constructive comments that helped to convince the Parish Council that this is not for the benefit of Our Village.

On Tuesday we completed our Traffic Survey - thanks to everyone who helped in the Big Count! Without beginning to analyse how different the real figures are to those sent in by the developers, it is clear that the Cosby Road / Winchester Road Crossroads is already experiencing periods of Gridlock. This is before any impact from the housing being developed at Borrowcup and Scalborough! The weak and un-researched "double mini-roundabout" suggestion will make it even worse! All this BEFORE they would even add the Willoughby Road Development with its additional cars! Better start investing in a helicopter as soon it will be the only way in and out of the village!

LETTERS, LETTERS, LETTERS! Thank-you to everyone who has already sent one in to Andrew Senior at Blaby District Council however WE STILL NEED MORE! Don't forget every adult in a house can send a letter. The template is included below to help you write one - it takes just 10 minutes and a single stamp to tell the council how much you object to our village being over-developed so please help us and get writing!

Save Our Village!

Help Fight The Proposed Development

Davidsons Builders are trying to push through a new 120 house residential site on Willoughby Road.

You didn't know?

That's no surprise as the Council have only sent out a few advisory letters so very few people know about it!

This 120 house development will bring 250+ more cars onto our roads, causing increased congestion and road safety issues as well as noise pollution and increased pressure on already over-stretched resources throughout our village. This is ON TOP OF the already authorised 260 new houses off Borrowcup and Scalborough Close!

We need to STOP this right now!

What Can I do to Stop this?

There are 3 things you can do to fight this:

1. Write a letter of Objection to Blaby District Council by 10th March
(Click on the picture below to see an example letter to start you off!)



2. Come to the Village Meeting on Monday 22nd February at 7.30 pm in the Village Hall


3. Volunteer! We need your help and donations to fight this development. If you want to help please call the Countesthorpe Action Group on 07979 867415

We CAN stop this

Every Letter of Objection is counted.

Please take just 10 minutes to write yours to Blaby District Council
