 A resident asked the Parish Council if they were in favour of the affordable
homes being built on the field adjacent to Bunkers Hill, or if they were in
support of the residents who do not want the development. The Councillors
stressed they supported the residents views, nothing formal had been passed
to the Council from Planning Department so there was little the Parish
Council could do at this stage. The issues of road width and weight limits on
proposed access roads were also raised. Coun. Bridges read out a letter he had
written to New Linx Housing and asked if everyone present agreed with it –
all were in favour and the letter will be sent. A petition against the

Head of ELDC. Residents were also advised by Coun. Bridges that the field
could be sold privately.

off leaflet drop was suggested to advise residents of meeting dates and what
