At yesterday’s drop-in session at Goldenhill Community Centre 09.10.25, which was organised by Councillor Kanneganti and Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association that outlined how Stoke-on-Trent will grow and develop between 2020 and 2040 sustainably. It set out the scale and location of future development and providing long-term policies to support housing, employment, green spaces, and essential services for residents and businesses.
Concerns residents have in regards to the proposed building of up to 400 houses on Sandyford’s Hollywall Lane, and numerous comments of it being a done deal, which it is not. Even if the development is passed by council planning, then there are things that can be done before it happens as in the main concern of highway traffic.
Sandyford and Goldenhill Residents Association operate a speedwatch group which is run through Staffordshire Police, and the main topic picked up at the drop-in session was to build evidence of the amount of traffic using Sandyford’s highways. This is where we need you as local residents to join the speedwatch team because we have been advised to build up as much evidence as we can, which will be a central point to if the development goes ahead, and how the infrastructure will facilitate this or not.
So if anyone would like to be positive and support your residents speedwatch group, then please make contact through our social media pages.
More traffic the roads are congested now Heathside Lane is like a raceway now goodness knows what it will be like,my concern is the construction traffic using this lane to access the site.
We consider this to be unrealistic as we have two care homes at the entrance to the lane entrance to the the school playing field and the school at the bottom I’m totally opposed to this build. Mr D Taylor
Agree with you David. Goldenhill is a small village and all the extra traffic plus 400 homes is ridiculous there is simply not the amenities to cope with it.
That’s right brenda, another concern for me is the road needs to be 2 lanes at the bottom for increased traffic coming and getting out of the lane, its not so good as it is and the other end opposite MacDonalds will be very frustrating trying to get out on to the main rd at busy times.
