Plans to build 3000 houses in North Yate

I attended a meeting last week called by the developers Heron Homes where they told us they planned a major new development in North Yate. I want to stop it.

The development is proposed to include 3000 new homes and 9 hectares of light industry. This will have a significant impact not only on Brimsham Park but also the town of Yate and the countryside as a whole. There is no need for such a massive development and the current infrastructure of Yate, and its surrounding areas, services and amenities cannot cope with the huge influx of vehicles and people into the area – this is also in complete disregard to current Government Policy whereby South Goucestershire Council has been released from its obligation to build more homes, imposed on it by the previous Government.

Can you help?

Heron Homes are consulting at the moment please look at their website http://www.heron-northyate.info/ and tell them we don't want the development at the following link http://www.heron-northyate.info/feedback.Responses must be back by 8 April 2011.

We are looking for people to join our campaign. By writing to local politicians, the press and creating a stink. With the local elections coming up in May there is a great opportunity to now to make progress.
