OPEN GREEN SPACE IN CARLTON PROTECTED

Tom Randall MP listens to the concerns of Carlton residents - Burton Road car wash planning application

I first met Carlton residents to listen to their concerns about a planning application for a car wash, on land next to Inn For A Penny pub on Burton Road, back in June.

I’ve since been contacted by many residents and I passed on their objections to Gedling Borough Council, who are responsible for planning, to try to prevent this application from being passed by the Council’s Planning Committee.

I shared residents’ concerns that the car wash would increase traffic, on what is an already a heavily congested area, and water runoff from the car wash could damage wildlife along the Ouse Dyke. It’s also unneeded – there’s a similar car wash less than a hundred yards down the road.

I am therefore delighted that the application was refused on Wednesday. Like the residents of Carlton, I would now like to see the land developed into a greener community space and hope the land owners engage with the local community to do so.

Protecting our green spaces

Here in Gedling, we live in a great spot between a historic city and rolling countryside. Our green spaces are precious and once they have been built on, they are gone forever.

The next cost of living payment, worth £300 for 10,300 vulnerable and low-income households across Gedling, will be made between 31 October and 19 November 2023.

Countries around the world are facing high inflation driven by Putin’s illegal war, so families around the UK need support with these financial pressures.
