I note from the Wrexham.com report that Over 40 new homes in Gresford could be approved next week despite highway safety concerns despite 285 objections from local residents and the Gresford and Marford councillors and the councils own Highways Department.
The traffic on Vicarage Lane and the problems with Health provision in the village have been widely reported and thus the recommendation from Lawrence Istead, a Council employee directly paid by us, is incredulous and the motive must be explored.
This begs the question why is Istead the only person promoting this application?
Gower Homes seem to get all their applications approved and this singular Council promoter is bound to raise some questions. It has not gone un-noticed that the council recently purchased some properties recently (guess who from) yes Gower Homes…
Given all these indications. it is incumbent on the Chief Executive of the council to instigate a full enquiry and investigation to confirm that all in the council Planning Department is beyond reproach. Similarly, the fact that motives can even be subject to question, is a breach of professional responsibility.
It is time for the people to revolt against the Council and their undemocratic and unpopular planning decisions when they are failing so badly on the provision of necessary infrastructure.
