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.
