Proper Enforcement Needed KEEP IN TOUCH Proper enforcement of planning permissions and building control by the City Council is undermining the whole planning process.

The most serious issue locally has been at Carousel Park on the A33 where we have seen misuse of a travelling show- persons site with anti-social behaviour affecting local residents.

Andy Adams says 'I have called on the Council Leader to ensure a strategy for enforcement at Carousel Park whatever the outcome of the current legal review. We also need proper enforcement of planning applications, and proper oversight of building control on new developments to ensure adequate parking and waste disposal. We must restore faith in the planning process.'
