Velocity Healthcare has put in two new applications for secure care and treatment units for people with mental illness. One is for a unit which would cater for low secure mentally ill people and the other for low secure and medium secure mentally ill patients. So we're back to square one!
There is to be a meeting at Moorfield Sports and Social club Moorfield Rd on Monday14th July at 7pm to find out more about the situation and discuss what we can do as individuals and as a community re objecting to the new proposals.
Obviously the more residents attending the better as it will send out a signal to the council and Velocity Healthcare that the vast majority of residents continue to be opposed to the development. Please try to make it!
The Green Party's position is that although there is an obvious need for such units its inappropriate that any sort of care unit should be operating on the site at Bennetts Lane because of its proximity to chemical plants. The original decision by the council to allow such a development there of any sort of care facility was to say the least questionnable.
