▪ This proposal is really for Whitehouse and Fairfields who would like a large supermarket

▪ Impact on the existing local retailer Raj in the local centre and on other local businesses

▪ Impact on vitality of Stony Stratford, a similar development (at the former Herald Club) was quashed in respect of the negative impact it would have on Wolverton Town Centre.

▪ Loss of green space, loss of wildlife habitat and a threat to existing mature trees

▪ Impact on the residential character of the area plus Increased pollution & noise from customer & store support vehicles, inconsiderate parking is already an issue on the estate.

We often receive reports from people about left e-bikes or e-scooters. If they’ve been dumped or damaged, you should report this to the owner so they can take action. For e-scooters, this will be either Lime or Dott. For e-bikes, this will be either Lime or Santander. However, we’d like to know if there have been any incidents involved e-bikes or e-scooters so we can continue to monitor these transport options and their use across the city.We’ve set up an online form so you can report this quickly on our website. Go to the A-Z of services and click the link under ‘E’.

Thanks to the hard working committee’s efforts GHRA have been yet again awarded a Gold certificate for meeting MKCC targets in serving our community.
