Warwick Town Centre would within 5-10 years be on its way to becoming a ghost town. And within 10-25 years a 'problem' town with those then in charge of the 'planning' racking their brains for solutions. Warwick as anything special would be dead. How history repeats itself!
Need to make use of empty homes and buildings, for example, there are many empty properties which, like the printing works on Theatre Street and the site of a disused garage on West Street could be utilised.
Should consider re-use of town centre buildings for older people
Objection to New Local Plan
There is no correct evidence for the plan. If followed through, there would be too many houses in developments which would be ridiculed because they were examples of what should NOT have happened. Why? Because all the evidence was ignored e.g. the car dependency; the inappropriate road plans to 'deal' with the new traffic; serious problems of illegal levels of air pollution; permanent misappropriation of green sites etc. I attach a letter re the Local Plan which I sent to Chris White MP.
