FIGHT FOR SAFETY-YOUR VILLAGE COULD BE NEXT!!!

Building houses should not put our lives at risk - pedestrian safety is a basic HUMAN RIGHT!

Our opposition is not to new houses, it is to the danger of new houses with no provision for safety.

My name is Paul Dimishky. I have been part of the A357 Group fighting the building of a MASSIVE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT on safety grounds since 2017.
Somerset Council gave their approval only with a specific condition that the developer provide adequate pedestrian safety - which they have not.

The site is located on a strategic “A” road, constantly used by heavy goods vehicles. This road, our village High Street, lacks pavement and seriously ENDANGERS THE LIVES of our many elderly, disabled and young residents each time they leave their homes.

Should this development be allowed to proceed one 90 year old resident will lose her car parking space, her independence and become imprisoned in her own home!

The law is clear that this development is not sustainable and should not be allowed. The condition was applied by HM Inspector in order to grant permission.

Our only way now, to safeguard present and future residents, is to take this to the High Court and commence a Judicial Review against the Council’s decision.
I cannot do this alone and am asking for your help in raising funds to pay for the court case.

I have employed an extremely capable legal team who are very confident of a win for our village. Please help in whatever way you can.

Let this case determine a precedent for houses in SAFE places!!

With utmost thanks
Paul
