By Geoff Fisher We had many happy years in Reepham, but had to move closer to our family a couple of years ago.
On a recent visit to some friends in the town, we noted letters [on the Reepham Life website] about the proposed development off Broomhill Lane, which was to have 120 units with 30% affordable, and would supply a sports hall and land for the cemetery extension.
This has now totally changed with the developer wanting to build 147 units with only 20% affordable – and only making a contribution to a new sports hall on council land.
If the developers cannot afford to build what was promised, why did they buy the land? No one forced them, or are they just “trying it on”?
Greedy developers and landowners are trying to impose unwanted development on this unique town of Reepham.
We hope the elected councillors stand up to these powerful people and make them build what was promised.
