The Future of Wilmslow in Your Hands

As a Wilmslow resident, you would have to be living under a rock recently to not have heard about the Wilmslow Vision document outlining plans for future development of the area. And it will come as no surprise that it is sparking a lot of controversy given that the plans could mean up to 1,500 new homes being built on our greenbelt land. Here at Mums in the Know, we have strong concerns about the pressure such developments would put on local infrastructure in particular the already over subscribed schools in the area and impact of increased traffic and pollution on our growing families.
The fact that the plans will turn several safe, quiet 'family friendly' cul de sacs into busy through roads is another key issue. The loss of our lovely pockets of countryside- havens for whiling away the afternoon with our toddlers, and zones of exploration and beauty for us all- is something which we should all stand up and fight against.

There have been complaints that not enough copies of the document have been printed and circulated, and as the consultation period has been extended we are helping to circulate the questionnaire via our social network presence (which is now the highest Wilmslow focused twitter& Facebook feed in the area.)

Please take the time to go through the links below and have your say on this important local issue:
