The District Council would like to build affordable housing in the centre of Sidmouth:
Futures Forum: A solution to our housing problems: build on car parks
However, exactly the same proposal has been interpreted as counterproductive:
Futures Forum: Sidmouth parking issues: decreasing capacity at Ham Lane
In fact there has been a huge amount of political fallout:
Futures Forum: The District Council, developing Mill Street in Sidmouth ... and transparency
Futures Forum: Mill Street Blues
Futures Forum: Mill St and “making political capital out of the vital issue of providing homes for Sidmouth’s young families”
... as well as some amusing comment:
Futures Forum: Mill Street housing @ Maunsell Fort
These issues are indeed interconnected:
Futures Forum: Proposals for Mill Street - Port Royal - Neighbourhood Plan
The biggest connection is to what will happen in the Eastern Town:
Futures Forum: Plans for Port Royal: anticipating a Regeneration Board >>> a summary of the issues
Futures Forum: Plans for Port Royal: anticipating a Regeneration Board >>> 'a clever design that incorporates multi-storey parking and residential homes with affordable housing'
It is clear that the business community is very unhappy with the proposals
