PLANS for 230 new homes need to include improvements to the nearby Stairfoot roundabout to make sure the development doesn’t make traffic problems on the notorious junction any worse, a councillor has warned.
Under the proposals the current ‘dead end’ on Bleachcroft Way which runs past the front of the former B and Q store would continue into a new housing estate complete with areas of public open space and a children’s play area.
Coun Wayne Johnson said he is concerned about the potential worsening of traffic problems at Stairfoot roundabout.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
