Best Wishes Cllr Tom McLaren Church End Ward on behalf of the Save Our Suburbs campaign. 1 Recipient: Redbridge Council Letter: Greetings, Save Our Suburbs: Say No to a Wanstead and Woodford Development Corridor Comments Name Location Date Comment Mark Balcomb London, United Kingdom 2014-10-16 The planned proposal will complete destroy the character of the western corridor of the borough, and any expansion would have such a minimal effect to meet government shortfall requirements. The suburbs of Wanstead and Woodford are not suited to this type of expansion, and the proposed sites are not substantial for the development David Hattersley Woodford Green, United 2014-10-17 Random high rise in established low rise suburban areas is totally out of place. Kingdom alison freeman London, United Kingdom 2014-10-18 We are overcrowding now Randi Glenn London, United Kingdom 2014-10-19 I object to allowing high rise building within the south Woodford area and changing the village feel of the area Ritu Kumar London, United Kingdom 2014-10-19 Over crowded already Melanie Gadsdon Woodford, United 2014-10-19 I'm passionate about the beauty of Woodford and to do any more buildings Kingdom would mar the landscape. Queen Mary block of flats are already made ugly and it has destroyed beautiful Woodford. Marcia Wallace London, United Kingdom 2014-10-19 I'm signing this petition because I do not watch to my area, which is already becoming over grounded and services stretched, become under more pressure and loose what we pay a premium to live in with the high cost of properties in this area. Please do not change this area. Maria Pierce London, United Kingdom 2014-10-19 No high rises or over development Claire Hartley London, United Kingdom 2014-10-19 I am totally against this proposal. If I want tall tower blocks I'll move closer to the city thanks. Donald MacQueen London, United Kingdom 2014-10-19 The proliferation of high rise flats are already sufficient for local needs, we need more houses for families not high rise blocks of flats. Adrienne Hughes Woodford Green, United 2014-10-20 It is very important to me because I live in Woodford Green and I do not want Kingdom my local area destroyed by over density for which there is no adequate infrastructure. Woodford used to be a leafy suburb but it is being destroyed by overdevelopment. Mehibe Hill London, United Kingdom 2014-10-20 I'm signing because I grew up in South Woodford and now live in Wanstead; and can not imagine how awful our neighbourhood and community would feel with the proposed developments. It is an outrage that such a proposal has been put forward by the Labour candidate. Wanstead is beautiful because of it's greenery and skyline as well as the sense of community. Utterly worrying news. Save Woodford and Wanstead. Robert McKill South Woodford, United 2014-10-20 We do not have infra structure to support this option 3 and we do not want to Kingdom introduce ghetto's that would certainly grow Anne-marie Richmond London, United Kingdom 2014-10-20 I am all for building affordable accommodation however if no planning is allocated for additional services to support more residents how is this going toe courage a community spirit and meet people's needs, simply building for the sake of votes is not the answer Lucille Grant London, United Kingdom 2014-10-20 We moved here (my husband and I) because of the villagey feel to Wanstead and it's surrounding areas. I cannot believe this proposal to build high rise flats in this small area. We say a definite no to this proposal. Frank Cruder London, United Kingdom 2014-10-20 it would be nice to keep the areas as they are and they do not to be spoilt by even more development. Name Location Date Comment Katy Meaden London, United Kingdom 2014-10-20 Wanstead is so popular because of how it looks, traditional leafy streets and old houses. New blocks of flats around the area would ruin all of this. Redbridge labour should be ashamed, no idea why they even got it. Kathryn Thompson Essex, United Kingdom 2014-10-20 The area's resources are already stretched, and it would be awful to lose the open and green aspect that is left in the two areas! Catherine Love Ilford, United Kingdom 2014-10-20 There is no infrastructure in place to take the additional residents these developments would entail. Ilford has already been ruined by throwing up blocks of shoebox flats on every scrap of land, the roads are gridlocked and public transport is collapsing under the strain, please don't do this to the remaining green and pleasant parts of Redbridge! Julia Morgan London, United Kingdom 2014-10-20 The area is already too crowded. Investment should be on more green space not less Amanda Ford London, United Kingdom 2014-10-20 This a action will ruin a lovely place to live. James Killeen Wanstead, United 2014-10-20 To even consider ruining one of the best remaining bits of East London, by Kingdom turning it into a yet characterless jungle of blocks of flats, is nothing short of madness. Once the damage is done, it can never be undone. Morris Hickey Chigwell, United 2014-10-20 Open space is as essential to good living conditions as are decent well-deigned Kingdom and maintained homes. Serious refurbishment of existing homes, especially long-term unoccupied ones, needs to be undertaken before spreading more concrete. Jim Mortleman London, United Kingdom 2014-10-20 I'm not against development per se, but as others have said this area does not need more high-rise flats or studio apartments; it needs more family homes. And that means homes in character with the area and built on brownfield sites only. Jan Goswami Essex, United Kingdom 2014-10-20 We want green trees not concrete jungle Samantha Stovin-Clark Woodford, United 2014-10-21 It will negatively impact my local area Kingdom helen bloom woodford green, United 2014-10-21 I do not want this pressure put on local schools, doctors and local services. Kingdom Leave Woodford alone! Stop ruining it and the atmosphere our residents love. I have lived in this house for nearly 40 years. Carole martinet Woodford green, United 2014-10-21 Signed. Carole Kingdom Verity Eggar London, United Kingdom 2014-10-21 I want South Woodford and Wanstead to remain the leafy family orientated area it is and has always been. This would ruin the area. irene dunkley London, United Kingdom 2014-10-21 I do not want to see my Country become one large building site. We all need green spaces for a healthy lifestyle for old and young alike and building more skyscrapers and ugly blocks of flats looks appalling and will spoil the area and it will lose it's character. We already have many lovely streets being spoilt by ugly inserts of flats and huge unsightly buildings. It has to stop and I wish good luck to the campaign Helen Coughlan Woodford Green, United 2014-10-21 Because we are loosing so much open spaces and playing fields. Kingdom William (Bill) Layzell- South Woodford, United 2014-10-21 I have lived here for over 45 years and the pressure on our local services due Smith Kingdom to inappropriate buliding of unsightly flats is appalling. No more please. Ann Candy Ilford, United Kingdom 2014-10-21 Start of a slippery slide -no area will be safe from threat if some stand is not taken. Name Location Date Comment Nicola Wyndham Woodford Green, United 2014-10-21 We love this area because it is family friendly and green. We do not want the Kingdom character of this area affected. This proposal is short sighted and again just about the council finding income through unnecessary development that does not have the infrastructure to support it. Michelle Mead London, United Kingdom 2014-10-21 Doctors surgeries and schools would not be able to cope with the huge numbers of extra people. Getting a place in a local school is already difficult with people being offered places in schools nowhere near them! How will adding more to the local population/housing help? vesna martin London, United Kingdom 2014-10-21 i live here and i love it the way it is. ann brandman essex, United Kingdom 2014-10-21 I have lived in the area for 68 years and like it how it is Lynda Adams London, United Kingdom 2014-10-21 I love Wanstead for the green open spaces as it is. No to encroaching on these green spaces we so enjoy so close to the city. Kathleen Moore London, United Kingdom 2014-10-22 Extra houses will put a huge strain on already over subscribed schools/hospitals and all local amenities. Nicola jarratt London, United Kingdom 2014-10-24 I love Wanstead Danielle Palmer London, United Kingdom 2014-10-24 There is already too much pressure on local services including schools and NHS services especially given the redevelopment of the Queen Mary site several years ago changing the demographic of the area.
