When I bought my home at Heatherwood Royal, I was clearly told there would be no social housing on the development. This was a major factor in my decision to purchase. Imagine my shock upon learning that 59 units are now proposed for acquisition for social housing, without any consultation with current residents. This change represents not only a significant alteration to what was promised but also raises concerns about transparency, honesty, and the integrity of the decision-making process.

Heatherwood Royal was advertised and sold as a place where people could invest in their homes with confidence in what the future held for the community. The present plan conflicts with the original assurances provided at the time of purchase. It undermines the trust between the developers, the council, and the homeowners.

Moreover, decisions such as these have long-lasting impacts on the community. Residents should have the opportunity to voice their concerns, understand the implications, and be involved in shaping the future of our neighborhood. A consultation period is critical to address these concerns, assess the true impact of the proposed acquisition, and explore all competing considerations.

I urge the local council and developers to pause this acquisition process until a thorough, fair consultation has taken place with the residents of Heatherwood Royal. A collaborative approach can ensure that all voices are heard, and the character of our community is preserved for the future.

We deserve transparency and involvement in decisions that affect where we live. Please sign this petition to demand a halt to the acquisition until a comprehensive consultation is conducted with all stakeholders involved.
