Stonebridge Park -- ‘road closure approved’

Notices from the Department of Transport have appeared in Limmen Gardens this week in which the secretary of state has granted permission for the closure of the main side road & footpath in the area. The decision date is given as 19^th June, now local residents have until 1^st to appear the decision through the courts.

Locals are deeply concerned because the footpath running along side there homes is being replaced by a new side road that will have no pavements either side. Local residents will walk out of there front gates directly into the new poorly lit road. As many of the residents have young children, they say this puts there offspring at risk from being knocked down by cars using it.

The Developer Asra Housing group have planning permission to build 15 new homes in Limmen Gardens, and work may begin in the autumn.
