There has been a great response to the planning application with about 90 objections posted at the last count. Thanks to everyone who took the time to send their opinions to the Council. Let's hope the planners and Councillors take note!
On the subject of 'taking note', it is wonderful to read how the Leader of the Council, Cllr Paul Watson (of Pallion ward) has stated in his weekly blog that:
"It is the council’s job to listen to and work with communities to ensure that our services – and those of our partners – are as good as possible. From our investment in schools and roads to looking after people in their own homes and caring for the environment, we are continually looking at how we’re performing and listening to what people tell us to make sure that the needs of residents continue to be at the heart of everything that we do...
"It means that you are going to be able to play a much bigger part in the future of your area. There will be better ways for people to give their views and influence the decisions that affect them and their local areas. You can be assured that what you tell us will be acted upon".

It's grand to hear of so many people becoming politically active in terms of demanding something being done regarding the impact of the hospital expansion on the surrounding area. For me, it suggests the parking issue has already reached an intolerable stage because people do not become polically active unless things are reaching saturation point.
