Councillor Liam-James Dean and Councillor Khalid Hussain JP expressed deep disappointment with Bury Council's Planning Committee refusal for a site visit and approval of additional housing units on Springside Road.
Conservative Councillors, Dean and Hussain, who represent North Manor Ward, expressed their profound disappointment with the decision made by Bury Council's Planning Committee.
The Planning Committee, which is primarily comprised of Labour Party Councillors, refused to conduct a site visit and approved the development of additional housing units on Springside Road, despite the area already suffering from severe congestion issues.
Councillors Dean and Hussain, along with numerous concerned local residents, had strongly advocated for a site visit to fully understand the implications of the proposed development. It was expected that a visit to the area would provide valuable insights into the existing challenges faced by residents, including traffic congestion, strained infrastructure, and potential environmental concerns.
However, to the disappointment of many, the Planning Committee decided against a site visit and approved the development plans, disregarding the concerns raised by Councillors Dean and Hussain and the local community.
This decision has left both residents and the Conservative Councillors for North Manor Ward disheartened, as it fails to acknowledge the significant impact the proposed development will have on an already congested area.
Councillors Dean and Hussain are steadfast in their commitment to supporting the residents of North Manor Ward. They firmly believe that the local community's concerns and well-being should be paramount when making decisions that affect their everyday lives. Councillors Dean and Hussain will not give up the fight for fairness and justice, and will continue to advocate for the interests of their constituents.
They are determined to explore all available avenues to address this issue, including engaging with relevant stakeholders, raising awareness about the impact of the development, and working towards finding a resolution that respects the needs and concerns of the local community.
Councillors Dean and Hussain urged Bury Council and the Planning Committee to reconsider their decision and give due consideration to the potential consequences of the proposed housing development. They believe that a site visit would offer valuable insights into the challenges faced by residents and enable more informed decision-making.
Councillors Dean and Hussain encourage the residents of Walmersley in North Manor Ward to stand united and continue their support. Together, they can ensure that their voices are heard, and their concerns are addressed in a manner that upholds their best interests and the overall well-being of the community.
