| I have been a resident of Chelveston for over 30 years, and like the majority of us who live in Chelveston at this moment of time, enjoy the luxury of the views the village has to offer, and we do not want these views to be interrupted. I must point out here, the majority of us live in areas that have been planned and voted on by those villagers before us. They have taken bold steps from their perspective to create what we have and enjoy today. From my perspective, those who planned forty years ago had the foresight to restrict Duchy Close in the village expansion. It is our turn to plan and vote for what developments happens in the next twenty years, it is our turn to be bold and to see a positive future for the village, so in twenty years time future residents will have their say whether they want to expand, and how much by. The problem is, there is pressure from outer forces for villages like ours to expand with more housing, and if the majority do not vote, it is quite possible these outer forces may well have their say, and that may well destroy what we have in our hands to do today. We must think of the future as a whole for the village, not individual problems that may be overcome when/should those plans be submitted at some future time. I therefore urge each and every resident to look at the plans, read what has been said at the meetings, and vote for the minimum we can accept. It is our time be bold, take the decision, and vote even if you are not sure, cannot be bothered or think it does not concern you, for it does, and very much so. Dave Pannell 20, Duchy Close |
