Cooks Wood Road residents have complained to the Council after land on the street has been turned into a scrap yard for cars.
One resident told the Messenger that the land between 12 and 14 Cooks Wood Road, had been sold at auction by the Council 5 years ago but earlier this year it was fenced off. The land, which previously had trees and an informal path, now has nine scrap cars stored on it.
The Council’s Planning Enforcement team have taken on the issue, as there is no planning permission for its current use. The Council's West and North Planning Committee will consider action to be taken on Tuesday 31st July, 2pm at the Town Hall, this is a public meeting, so residents can attend.
