Residents to hold meeting in Highbridge over plans for 95 new homes

A public meeting is to be held in Highbridge this evening (Wednesday) when residents will be able to air their objections regarding a proposed development of 95 new homes.

The proposals for the riverside boatyard near The Clyce include eighty five 2, 3 and 4 bedroom houses, plus ten 1-bedroom flats, and have attracted scores of ojections from nearby residents.

The public meeting is being held in the hall beside Highbridge Hope Baptist Church on Church Street from 7pm when residents will be formulating a comprehensive response to the proposals.

Cllr Joe Leach, who will be present, told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "The meeting was agreed at the site meeting last week as something residents wanted to do. I am grateful to Hope Baptist Church for hosting us, so that we can be able to hear all objections, and formulate them into valid reasons which the Development Control Committee will accept. I hope as many people as possible can attend."

The meeting will be held in the hall beside the Baptist church, accessed by the entrance down the side of the church on Church Street, Highbridge. All welcome.
