Respondent: Mrs Thelma Hope
A housing development in Shotesham is unrealistic regarding lack of sewerage, gas, street lighting, narrow lanes with few pedestrian paths, most too narrow for push chairs, poor public transport. Assets include the community use of the Mercers Charity Hall and the present playing field. The enormous growth of Poringland puts schools, GP's surgeries [try getting an appointment] under great pressure.
However the parish provides respite for urban dwellers with its network of field paths through superb landscapes [witness numbers of visitors throughout the year]. The envisaged development would destroy this essential refuge from the city.
