PLANNING

The CC attended the Taylor Wimpey community engagment event held in Bilston Miners in December.

We were satisfied with there plans and have had no feedback from members of the community however we have indicated our concerns to there being only one access road and have requested that they look into the feasability of a second access perhaps at the other end of the development. We also requested that the right of way at the side of the BT exchange be kept.
