Respondent: Peasmarsh Parish Council
Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Yes
The use of 'a good range of local services' is slightly disingenuous as the other good local services are part of the supermarket complex and, like the supermarket, are closed on Sundays and religious Bank Holidays. The supermarket has recently reduced its opening hours to 7pm.
The supermarkets own bus service, which had operated for 30 years, ceased in March 2018 making it difficult for those without cars to access its services and is especially true for older residents who struggle to walk up the steep hill adjacent to the supermarket when carrying shopping.
There is no longer a provision, within the village, for Mothers and Toddlers or Mother and Baby groups.
The parish council is of the opinion that the statement does not give a true picture of the village and that the wording is designed to create the impression that the additional housing being proposed can be sustained.
