Newt you can do here


23/ 4/2008

NEWTS, bats, floods and an ancient cottage were among a vast catalogue of concerns voiced at the latest protest meeting against a controversial housing development on Birtles Road.

Nearly 100 residents packed into Macclesfield Leisure Centre on Friday, April 18, in opposition to plans to build 42 ‘affordable’ homes on spare land they claim is an ecological wonderland.

   Is Nick Winterton still involved with Jones Homes? Surely there must be a conflict of interest.

   What else can you expect from this council? There's no dentist to serve a place the size of Tytherington thanks to them kicking him out, selling the land to a developer and refusing planning permission for another surgery. Now I have to travel to Wilmslow to see the best dentist I've ever had.

Robber barons? It's certainly beginning to look that way. Besides, house prices are falling to less ridiculous levels anyway. Soon some existing housing will become "affordable".
