FOUR WEEKS LATER, STILL NO REVISED DRAWINGS...

Four weeks after promising new architectural drawings, we are still awaiting any communication from Somer… This despite many reassurances by Somer themselves and the local authority that the London Road community will be listened to!

On 17 June, Somer representative, John Glyn announced that revised plans would be presented under one week and accessible on the internet. Is it therefore too much to ask Somer Housing and their architects, GCP Chartered Architects Ltd,to keep their promises and show us any changes made to this very disputable project? Or was the public meeting just a pure PR exercise for Somer?

As confirmed by Cllr Vic Pritchard, main proponent of the scheme, Somer is to seek planning consent by the end of August or sooner if possible.

Once again this situation only serves to confirm residents and business' worst suspicions of the purpose of this pseudo consultation.
