Estate against new neighbour

[Matthew]

Plans by the YMCA to build a residential cum training centre on a new Coventry housing estate look set to be approved, despite objections from more than 400 neighbours.

Read the whole story online at NFH in Britain. (http://www.nfh.org.uk/news/index.php?category=all&id=461)

The reason the YMCA are going ahead amidst such strong oposition is because the YMCA will know that they are right and that everyone else is wrong. ;)

"It also notes the YMCA has agreed to set up a community liaison group to address residents' concerns and to ensure a member of staff is permanently on site to provide a point of contact."

This will provide enough soap and flannel to bathe all of the neighbours twice a day for 100 years.

I am not sure about this one. If there are enough safeguards in place and the place is properly managed then why should it become a magnet for drug pushers and burglars??

is this a bit of NIMBYism?

:huh:
