There is still time to comment on Thakeham Homes’s bid to dump another 350 dwellings off Loxwood Road, Alfold. So, if you want to have your say, today’s the day.
And now the crowd is growing before our very eyes.
Details and timing here champion urges Alfold to turn up and be counted.
Here’s a message from one resident who rocked up yesterday and is still smarting from the experience.
Hi WW
I visited Thakeham today and now know this is a Tick-Box exercise.
But People of Alfold – Please DO GO and let them know how you feel on Wednesday – However, that may be, Because they think we do not care about this Village and judging by the Turnout today – We damn well do!
We were squished into the charming Church hall, queued to see the tiny notice boards and spoke to people representing Thakeham who had no idea where they were or what they were talking about. I don’t know if they were helicoptered in, but they all looked a tad green around the gills!
Their “Charitable goodness for our Village embarrassingly includes:
- A donation of 5K to The Renegades Not Based in Alfold – But in Loxwood, West Sussex – is most likely a payoff for the recent Houses they have built there!
- https://www.renegadesyc.org/mission-statement
I do not believe it is fair to carry that little bit over to our proposed development. Some respectfully suggested today that they may want that Notice board put on the Bonfire.
- A Dishwasher for the Church hall – Not fit for purpose as it is too small and has to be sold on to raise funds for one that works.
The M&S Yummies were “hidden” at the back of the Hall—all good for my diet. So well done, Thakeham. This was about the only thing they did well today.
Ten out of ten to the Thakeham representative, who said it had been a bad move to flog off the existing development site to Abri Homes for the 99 homes now under construction. After confirming that Waverley Council fully supported the move, he said,’ We had to sell it due to cash flow problems.’ Nice one!
The Questionnaire
I now have my Ginormous Feedback form A3, for goodness’ sake, which I will send via their Freepost Option NOTE: FREEPOST SEC, Newgate. I may do some origami on it to make it even more challenging to read! There was a little Post box in the Church hall for those who feel we must save Thakeham some postage money – But for those with Internet, it can all be done online at www.thakeham.com/Alfold
But in case anyone wants any Ideas, I have managed to condense down a version so you can see it with some Possible answers that may assist—happy Form Filling!
All the Best
Denise
PS When are the WEBBERS coming – Or do you have to pop down the Chimney later tonight to do it?
