370 Compensation Claims Made re South Devon Highway

by admin on 20 January, 2017

I continually raise questions about the negative impact of the South Devon Highway on my residents lives. Some people think I make the reports up….I don’t !
The SDH may be of benefit to many and I hope it does what was said would be the case….that it would produce a real boost to the local economy. However, many of my Aller residents have very negative feelings towards it, and it is my responsibility as their elected representative to speak for them at every opportunity.
Today I asked a number of questions at the Places Scrutiny Committee at County Hall, one of which was, “How many (Compensation) claims have so far been received? I was truly staggered to be told that 370 claims have so far been lodged with the authority. The answer I was given was incomplete, and I will be following it up asap, but it appears most of the claims, but not all, are noise related. I hope to post more information soon.

    Thank you Gordon for respresenting the views of Aller Park residents. As an Aller Park resident I can confirm that myself and many of my neighbours have been negatively impacted by the new road. If you would like to direct the people who doubt you to me, I can assure you ( and them) that my neighbours and I will give them first hand accounts of how we are affected. Better still, the doubters should should stand in Aller Park Road or St Luke’s Road and they will hear for themselves. On top of the noise there is the speeding, poor access to the estate, loss of the main bus service etc, etc.
