I WENT to the Clock Face Recreational Club to the council drop in to view and discuss the proposed plans for the green belt land within the Bold area. 


For me the council were just fulfilling their obligations to inform the local community of their proposed plans. 


As far as I could see, it was just a paper exercise, just handing out leaflets and objection forms. 


No questions answered regarding actual plans i.e. type of houses, price brackets, roadways, play areas or leisure facilities and general infrastructure. 


Just, these fields will have houses on and that’s it. 


In my opinion it’s all about the builders’ profits and council tax revenue. 


No consideration for the cost of other services required for these new residents, benefits, schools, doctors, hospitals, not to mention the traffic chaos on the inadequate roads in the areas surrounding these proposed sites.


I’ve never been as frustrated. I came away feeling really angry.
