Just to remind people living in the vicinity of North Worcestershire Golf Course that Bloor Homes (who want to build on the site) will be running a drop-in consultation for residents at the Hollymoor Centre this Thursday July 10 between 3pm & 8pm, and on Saturday July 12, between 10am and 5pm. The Hollymoor Centre is the former Hollymoor hospital site on Manor Park Grove, off Tessall Lane. I would urge as many local people as possible to go along and express a view. The feeling in the local community is overwhelmingly against building on the Golf Course. Theres also a clear cross party consensus against redevelopment from both Labour and the Conservatives locally - although Conservative publications now circulating appear to be trying to use the issue to gain political advantage for themselves. Thats a bit sad and a bit unnecessary. The future of NWGC is an issue where parties should unite to put serving the community ahead of serving themselves. Still, old habits die hard, I guess. At the Councils recent Longbridge Ward Sub Committee where Bloors wish to redevelop the Golf Course was discussed, I repeated some of the questions I and local Councillors raised with them and the Golf Club when we met them in mid-April. We still do not feel we have had satisfactory answers on many of the issues raised and residents may wish to pursue them further at Bloors consultation events this week. The link to the report on my website setting out the questions we asked Bloor and the Golf Club in mid-April is here richardburden/2014/04/an-update-on-north-worcestershire-golf-club-16-april-2014/
