Scartho residents raise money to help fight to halt 160-home development
CONCERNED residents are continuing to raise funds to help fight a proposed 160-home development.
The Scartho Village Action Group formed to oppose plans by Cyden Homes, which wants to build to the rear of houses in Shaw Drive and Kensington Place.
The group is urging residents to dig deep and raise £1,500 in order to fund a highways engineering company to conduct a traffic survey.
However, Cyden Homes has not submitted a planning application yet and says it is considering all feedback being received.
Any freeview or freesat install for only £49 to one room, additional rooms £20 extra per room
Terms: Only covers standard install.
Contact: 01472800127
Valid until: Tuesday, December 31 2013
Dave Logan, technical director at Cyden Homes, said: "We are still looking through all the feedback from our public consultations.
"We know there are some residents who are not happy and we have taken on board their comments to make amendments to our plans where necessary.
"All this has to be finalised before we can submit our application to North East Lincolnshire Council."
Although if successful, builders could be on site at the end of the year and it would take about seven years to complete the project, at a rate of about 25 homes a year.
Backing the Scartho Village Action Group is Councillor David Hornby (Con, Scartho), he said: "The group has not met since Christmas but I understand it could be doing so soon.
"They will look to see where they are with funds and catch up regarding the said development."

“Democracy in N E L C you are of course joking, there is nothing to choose between any of them there not on the council for you, there for what they can get out of it for them.
If we need more houses start in town ie bottom of Garth Lane”

“hmm_mmm. Everything ? As residents we are only concerned that the infrastructures are not in place. Louth road is an absolute nightmare with the amount of traffic on there, kids on bikes are an accident or worse waiting to happen. 160 more homes adding more traffic and chaos to the area is just crazy. There are plenty of brownfield sites kicking about why get rid of more fields. It is simple there is not enough room for these homes and the fact that trees have already been planted to disguise these houses just compounds the fact that they assumed they would get the go ahead. As residents it is our democratic right to protest if we believe our quality of life could be changed for the worse and we will fight Cyden Homes to the end.”

“Why don't the Scartho residents raise money to erect gripe water fountains because they're endlessly griping about everything?”
