Local plan scoping consultation
Transport and infrastructure
Respondent: Cllr Samantha Green
Representation Summary:
The respondent objects to further housing development in Haslington and Winterley, arguing that local infrastructure is already unable to meet current demand. Concerns are raised about limited capacity at GP surgeries, dentists and schools, as well as increasing traffic congestion, speeding and road safety issues. The respondent notes that infrastructure promised alongside previous developments, including a new doctor's surgery associated with the Haslemere development, has not materialised. They also express dissatisfaction with the maintenance of public spaces, highways, grass verges and waste facilities, and believe existing services and environmental quality should be improved before additional housing development is considered within the Local Plan.

Good morning, I wish to write in to complain regarding the amount of building in your recent local plan documents. Haslington and Winterley are very small villages which are overflowing with residents. WE have no infra structure to deal with the residents needs as it is never mind if more housing goes up.
I totally understand the need for housing but there needs to be provision made for the occupants to access all local amenities. We have people moving into the villages and they cannot get in to the local doctors, dentists, schools etc this is absolutely ridiculous.
The last building site at Haslemere in Haslington was built on the premis that a new doctors surgery would be built and that has never happened and the site is still not finished.
I have lived here for 26 years and have never known it as busy as it is now, queuing traffic everywhere, speeding constantly, a ridiculously built roundabout, no provision for residents, so if you are going to build all there houses then make more room at the doctors, dentist etc to allow for this. Or find somewhere else to build. The village looks a complete mess at the moment as no-one from Cheshire East keeps on top of the curbs, the back alleys, the area at the bottom of Shelburne drive by the brook is absolutely horrendous, the grass cutting is done very badly, the bins are always overflowing everywhere, no police presence, trouble with youths, I could go on……and you want to add to all this. Why not spend some money caring for the village you have.
