In Summer 2013, Woking Borough Council announced that over 1,000 new homes would be built in the Sheerwater area of Woking despite opposition from people concerned at the scale of the development and associated disruption.
Residents now face upheaval, and the community faces being broken up. Local people are not against change for the better but the sheer scale of the project is too much and the new developments will price locals with little or no money out of the housing market. In turn, they will be shipped off elsewhere - including the most vulnerable members of society for whom changes and upheaval are the last thing they need.
Woking Borough Council has NOT listened to the people of Sheerwater, and has treated 'dissenters' as no more than dirt.
We therefore demand the following:
* The plans to redevelop Sheerwater either be re-drawn or scrapped altogether
* Woking Borough Council be FORCED to apologise for upsetting residents in Sheerwater about the redevelopment
* Any future redevelopment to involve PROPER consultation and not be forced through undemocratically.
We, the undersigned, call on Woking Borough Council and New Vision Homes to abandon the proposed Sheerwater redevelopment plans.
