Today until tomorrow Tuesday 9th May there is at Westwood Cross an exhibition and consultation process concerning what is described as a new neighbourhood at Westwood. The developers Richardson Carillion and Gleeson are intending apparently to build a thousand homes on a plot of land bordered by Haine Road and Nash Road.
The plans are still at an early stage for the purposes of the consultation, however it it is intended that there will be some road improvements although these will probably be very minor and strictly only at the access points for this new estate. They actually have a transport consultant available to discuss the plan. He seemed to be quite confident that there wouldn't be any significant impact in having a thousand new homes opposite the Westwood Cross site.
Apparently this land was designated in the local plan for development so presumably our local authorities have a clear idea of what they're doing. Presumably someone is going to come a long and wave a magic wand thus removing some of that troublesome congestion that we have experienced since Westwood Cross opened.
The people representing this development seemed to be a bit woolly on the detail but as I say it is apparently part of the consultation process. I suggest anyone who wants to see how an additional thousand homes will improve the local road infrastructure should nip along pronto.
it only took half hour to travel home use to be quicker progrees
