In response to: Ash’s MP Jeremy Hunt Says Residents Oppose Ash Care Home Plans

It is good to see that the issue of NHS provision in Ash is receiving attention at Parliamentary level.

I still find it extraordinary that NHS Frimley believes that the substantial increase in the population locally can be effectively handled by Bartlett Group and Border Practice.

The developer Bewley Homes has gone above and beyond in trying to deliver on the original proposal for this site and I do hope that once again they listen to residents’ views as expressed by Jeremy Hunt MP.

It seems a very long time ago that I moved refusal (and lost) at full council for the development but since permission was granted I believe the issues do not lay with the developer.
