HISTORIC HOLDENHURST UNDER THREAT
The unique character of our ancient
village will be destroyed forever.
The Council wants to spend £millions
of taxpayers' money on a massive flyover to span the Spur Road and a huge
roundabout system to be built next to our Village Hall. The Council wants to
concrete over the Conservation Area, Green Belt, Floodplain and fields of our
local farmer.
This will have a negative effect on our
local natural environment and wildlife, as well as causing pollution affecting
the Retired Nurses National Home and Residents of Holdenhurst, Townsend and
Castle Lane.
They will flatten the 500 year old barn
and destroy local heritage. Why is the Council doing this? They want to open up
the Wessex Fields site and build Office Blocks!
The Council speaks of 'easing of traffic
problems'. How can this happen when the Council admits that there will be an
increase at rush hour of at least an extra 1,130 cars? What can we all look
forward to? o More traffic chaos and gridlock at peak times on the already
congested Cooper Dean and Castle Lane. o An increase in air and noise
pollution, which will have an adverse effect on a large number of residents. o
More accidents on the Spur Road with three huge junctions so close together.
Help preserve the last remaining ribbon of Green Belt that straddles the River
Stour. Once the Council has a gateway into the Green Belt you can guarantee
they will not stop at Holdenhurst Village. Help Save our Village. for latest
