We cannot argue that we have been consulted, but this has been an information process only.   We have been consulted to death with many sets of different plans and consultation events.  However consult is an interesting word, the definition from Collins English Gem is "seek counsel, advice, information (from)".  Nothing in there about taking any notice of it is there!

A potted History of
Allerton Bywater

The devastated community!

Many people in the village took part in the consultation process which has been extensive and repetitive.   

The consultation process in itself was excellent. Displays were presented, workshops  were held etc etc etc.   The only problem is that nobody has taken the results of it into account in their designs. 

The main thing the villagers wanted to see were:-

  • An appropriate amount and mix of houses
  • -  definitely not more than 250.

  • Employment opportunities

  • Help for existing businesses

  • Improved infrastructure ie roads, paths, cleaning, drainage etc

  • Leisure facilities, especially for children

  • Environmental improvements in the existing village

  • Quality green space.  Turn the page for what we appear to be getting, it will give you a laugh if nothing else.

  • A decrease in HGV's.  The planning permission granted to RJB named Allerton Bywater as the preferred route'   What a shame we had no opportunity to comment on that.
