After news of a potential housing development next to Ferryhill Carrs nature reserve was exclusively revealed by the Ferryhill & Chilton Chapter and the Northern Eco last month, residents met last week to discuss the proposals.
A spokesperson for the residents group said: “The meeting, last Thursday, was for the residents of the Wood Lane, Witton Road and Cleves Avenue area of Ferryhill to have an open discussion as to what they know and what they’d heard about proposed developments in this area and to be able to share the details available.
“There were almost 40 attendees along with another dozen who contacted by email but couldn’t make it to the meeting, and it proved that there was a solidarity amongst the residents against the proposals.
“Notes were taken from people’s suggestions and they will be circulated amongst those interested when they have been processed and typed up.
“Those gathered were informed that if they had any points of interest, concerns or suggestions to please keep in touch.
“No matter how small they might think it is, nothing is insignificant and everybody’s voice and opinion counts.”
