She also claimed that no-one was against the development. She said she had knocked on doors during the election campaign and no-one had mentioned the planning application. Maybe that's because the notices about the application were only delivered on the day of the election??
She said she wasn't going to give an opinion on the matter one way or the other because she didn't go to that GP herself and the proposed development was not in her ward. This despite the fact that it will affect plenty of residents who live in her ward.
Despite not giving an opinion, there was no doubt that she was strongly in favour of the plans and was not keen to listen to anyone who disagreed with her.
She said the plans were unlikely to go through in their current format and said that at a later stage (after the surgery is built) they'd probably look to add additional underground car parking. I'm no construction expert but if you're going to build an underground car park, isn't it easier to do that before you build everything else rather than afterwards?
Her final statement (which I found so shocking that I got her to repeat it a couple of times) was that if the new surgery is not built then the doctors will shut the existing surgery and we'll be left with no surgery at all. did she have any evidence of this when asked? No.
So a fine example of a councillor spreading rumours rather than relying on facts to make her decisions.
