VILLAGERS in Dodworth and Gilroyd are mobilising to oppose proposed changes to the Local Plan which could see at least 400 homes built on three new sites.
Residents are angry at what they claim are too many homes in a community which does not have the infrastructure to support so many new homes and families.
And they say that one of the proposed sites is an existing flood plain and another has been a green field for generations.
The opponents have already created a Facebook page called Protect Dodworth and Gilroyd and are holding a public meeting on Tuesday at Gilroyd Club.
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."
