WATCH OUT FOR TAYLOR WIMPEY BOOTHS LANE DEVELOPEMENT PLANS

The FQNR are concerned about the size of the new proposed development being put forward by Taylor Wimpey re Booths Lane. It seems to us 250 homes is a lot of houses and will mean a lot of people living on it.
We are also calling on the developers to regardless of any plans in the future to keep Booths lane open.
Our representatives along with Local Councillors, Tristan Chatfield and Councillor Keith Linnecor (Chair FQNR) have been to the open day which took place at the Baptist Church Beeches Road on Friday 26th October and we will be monitoring what happens in the future. WE are also calling for as much open space as possible to be retained in the area.
