Get over it. You live on a busy road with an established school already at the end of it. Many families are crying out for decent childcare within walking distance (and not having to wait 18 months for a place)


The Gowlett on Amott Road probably makes more noise than a small nursery - and at more antisocial times - and I can think of a lot worse noises than young children having fun.

I appreciate the concern of residents and I also think the parking is more likely to be an issue than anything. The noise though, is probably going to be one that makes you smile as children run around nad have a good time. Its a community, we all live very close together but genuinly a nursery is one of the few things I'd love to see next to me (and mine are all in a nursery or at school so no plans to use new nursery, so no vested interst). Economically active during the day but no night tiem disturbances or weekends. Are they not the perfect neighbours?

But still the right is there for consultation - and thats how it should be.


It'd be the parking / traffic that would be looked at I'd think.

What is the relevance of me being a first time poster? What "more to it" could there be?


For the record I'm not trying to stir things up, I'm replying to an existing thread of people expressing concern about this development, and letting them know that a formal consultation is underway should they wish to voice their objections more formally.

It's just a little suspicious when people register purely to cause issues for local business's. This is not the first time and it undoubtedly won't be the last.


If it is all just a coincidence that you registered 8 minutes prior to ressurecting a thread that was started as a general enquiry as to what was happening to the building, not expressing concern, then I apologise for my suspicion.


As for what more there could be to it.... you could be another local nursery trying to limit competition.

I'm not another nursery, I'm a concerned resident living very close to the proposed nursery. I registered a few minutes before posting because as you pointed out this was my first post. I've used the forum for a few years but never felt the need to post before. Thanks for the welcome.

Mrs D as someone who has also opposed buiding works /development next to me ,you have my sympathies that people are treating you so suspiciously .

I don't think that everyone who registers and expresses a view about something is always someone to be viewed suspiciously .

As a user of the forum for a few years you will know that this is something that happens fairly frequently so wouldn't be surprised that posting something like this as a first timer is likely to raise suspicion.


You have only ever posted on this thread so you don't exactly come across as a genuine new user interested in the forum as a whole, but someone with a personal interest in this topic only.


It's not about being unwelcoming, it's about protecting what is a great local forum from misuse.


As a genuine new user I look forward to getting to know you and chatting further in the future :-)


edited to add; Sorry this crossed with intexasatthemoments post, I too sympathise if you are directly effected and genuinely feel this change of use will have a detrimental effect on you personally. I also wholly agree with the planning process etc. I do however believe that a small nursery is a pretty good neighbour to have and unlikely to cause noise issues or have weekend / extended opening hours as seems to be your concern. I also think local business (and subsequent employment) is something that should be encouraged. Have you contacted the owner and discussed your concerns? I am sure he/she would welcome the opportunity to establish good relations with their neighbours and alleviate any concerns you have where able.

any resident around the scaffolded structure would have been alarmed-there was confusion over which planning applications were going through and the council had said that one application precluded the other.



Amott road play group is a bit different in that people were not living there too. Of course Mrs D was worried.


I have been told that the nursery will be run by totally different people and will no longer be a residence, which I find reassuring and acceptable.


As long as the council check everything is in order and specifically check the safety of the very tall breezeblock wall that was erected as their garden boundary two or three years ago, I won't be worried.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
