“ This is a disaster for Union Street residents. We recently established a Union Street Residents Association (USRA) to protect and improve the environment of our street and community Parking is already a major issue because Union Street is used as a rat run, exacerbated by businesses, Cherry Lodge Cancer Care, Longrove Surgery, a Respite Centre and the Catholic Church congregations. USRA has asked for the pavements at the High Street end to be repaired post the Older Women's Co Housing complex but so far this has been rejected. It is clear the presumption is that the council intends to go ahead with the High Street project to 'prettify' at the expense of residents' quality of life. ”
