Tattenhoe Ward Councillors, Manish Verma, Shazna Muzammil and James Lancaster share the following statement regarding Crest Nicholson’s announcement of their plans for the Shenley Park Development:
“We share residents’ concerns about this development and the impact it would have on our communities in Oxley Park and Kingsmead by splitting them in half.
“The Parks Trust, MK Play Association and the Parish Council have all organised events in Kingsmead Green which help bring our communities together and the planned H6 extension, which will see the road closed for many years, will also see us lose green spaces.
“This is on top of further developments, such as Salden Chase, which will cause more congestion in Milton Keynes without any real plans for additional infrastructure. It would also go against policy which states we should not have any homes facing grid roads.
“We are determined to not lose any more green space which is so vital to physical and mental health and we must always ensure the correct infrastructure is in place before we allow expansion so we will continue to fight for residents on this proposed development.”
Cllrs Manish Verma, James Lancaster and Shazna Muzammil urge residents to join them at the upcoming two consultation days: Saturday 20th May, 11am-3pm at Emerson Valley Community Centre, MK4 2DG and Wednesday 24th May 4-8pm at Jubilee Hall, Whaddon MK17 0LS.
