Latest News: 29/06/07: BBC News covers New Pyestock Plans
3,500+ objections now on Hart Planning website

Tonight’s BBC South Today News covered for the third time the Pru’s new mega depot application at Pyestock.  Media attention is growing as more and more local residents realise the potential negative impact of this scheme.  There are now over 3,500 objections and they continue to arrive. 

The News coverage included:

• The Houses of Parliament could fit twice into just one of the sheds, potentially one of the largest buildings in the Country

• Thousands of HGVs from the depot would serve supermarkets from Cornwall to Kent operating 24 hours a day x 7 days a week

• There would be 1,600 jobs and ‘improved road links’ – we know this will result in a massive increase of in-commuting causing further congestion on our local infrastructure and further overheating our local economy.  Replacing a busy roundabout with traffic signals and adding a major roundabout to the Ively Road are not road improvements!

• Our two local MPs, James Arbuthnot and Gerald Howarth are not convinced by these so-called improvements and have already objected for the second time

• James is concerned it is one of the largest developments the Country has seen. He was not surprised that there had been thousands of objections

• Gerald is concerned about the need to protect the Strategic Gap thus preventing a massive conurbation stretching from Camberley to Fleet

If you have still to object then act today!
