You had your second meeting regarding building 1,500 houses at the back of my home last evening. It is only today that we received notification by 1 sheet of information through our door. This seems a little unfair and undercover. When do you next intend to have a meeting, then all the neighbours can attend to find out exactly what the plans are to build on greenbelt land and ruin our rural lifestyle.
Perhaps if you could email me with your address and a contact phone number I will try and deal with your query. howard.sykes@oldham.gov.uk
When is the next meeting. This is a surprise to alot of the people on the local area. This hasn’t been well publicised.
Signs only went up in Crompton park in the last couple of days. Twenty days after the start of the consultation. Not very good for public consultation. This should have gone out to each household in a letter or via the borough free paper they sent out recently.
Along with other local councillors, who this was news too as well, we are pressing for another meeting ASAP. As of yet no date has been agreed.
