Exciting events at the Strategic Planning Board meeting yesterday!! (I bet that’s a sentence you don’t often see). The council were asked by Cheshire East’s planners to approve the plans for Ilford Way. It was a meeting open to the public, and lots of people from the village attended! There must have been 30 or so people, almost every seat was occupied so thank you to those who attended, the collected groans and downright laughter at some of the developers comments made a big difference I think! I've written a full report on what happened on our website here: http://mobberleyrams.wordpress.com/2014/07/11/council-vote-to-defer-ilford-way-development-for-public-health-assessment/ Safe to say the petition made a big difference in highlighting the issues with noise and schooling, especially with those Councillors who weren't local to the area - and was actually mentioned by a Councillor in the debate before the vote. So finally thank you so much for signing the petition, I'll contact you with the date when the application will be considered again.
