Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy

Representation ID: 20431

Received: 06/03/2020

Respondent: Miss ANGELA MAKINSON

Representation Summary:

Paragraph 38 Health and Wellbeing completely ignores the woeful state of mental health services in the area resulting in high suicides levels, poor emotional support only available to those who can pay for it and very little support, short term at that, for those who can't. Doctors' surgeries are oversubscribed not helped by large scale development continuing to take place in areas where this is known to be an issue. It is a ticking time bomb because no-one has the time to spend with people who need to talk about their issues.
