Bloor Homes - Foxhall Road Development
Help Us to Understand the Impact of Bloor Homes Proposed Development
We are asking for your input on how new housing developments are affecting our community’s infrastructure and environment.
We need your evidence and experiences regarding:
- Traffic congestion and public transport
- Access to schools, nurseries, GP surgeries and hospital appointments
- The state of our natural environment, with particular attention to priority species such as hedgehogs, bats and silver-studded blue butterflies
Your contributions, based on real life experiences will help us to demonstrate the challenges faced, and highlight the impact the new development on our community.
We request that if you have experienced difficulties with the local infrastructure, or spotted a priority species, to share the details with us. Please include as much detail as possible, including the date, time and location (with What3Words if possible) and a photo (if applicable) to support.
Please submit your findings by email at: enquiries@martleshamcouncil.org.uk
Thank you for your support.
