Sir,

I won’t go into too much detail here as space is a premium, but I address myself to the residents of Silverdale Place, Langdale Place, Eskdale Place, Whinlatter Place, Kirkstone Place and Honister Place.

There is mounting concern amongst residents, in particular home owners, of these streets (at least 40% of all properties) that if option 3 of the scheme is the outcome, that home owners will be faced with Compulsory Purchase which would effectively create destitution and destroy people’s lives.

I am awaiting a response from Livin, but will organise a full public meeting to keep residents informed as soon as I get their response, and will bring in all Ward Councillors and the Town Council and Great Aycliffe Residents’ Association to protect Residents’ interests.

If you have any concerns please contact me:

Cllr Arun M Chandran

West Ward, Great Aycliffe Town Council
