Hucknall councillors officially object to plans for new County Council office building in Linby
A group of Hucknall councillors are objecting to plans for a new £15.7 million Nottinghamshire County Council office. The new office space at Top Wighay, Linby is part of a planned new village at the site but the councillors feel the money would be best spent elsewhere.
"We now have the unedifying situation where Conservatives at County Hall ask themselves for planning permission. They’ve even restricted the consultation to an electronic one meaning many impacted in Hucknall won’t even get the chance to object despite massive concerns." The councillors also say that the proposed site is too far away from Hucknall Train Station and that public transport links need to be improved. They say it is too far from the station to walk and that roads are too unsafe to cycle on which would hinder the council's plan to go net zero by 2030.
“We’ve had a range of comments from wider local community, which we are currently in discussions about and looking into as part of the usual planning consultation process. Our planning and rights of way committee is due to make a final decision on planning permission for the new offices in the coming weeks."
"Completed infrastructure work at the site includes an expanded roundabout on the A611/Annesley Road, a new signal-controlled junction as well as a new, three-metre wide, shared use footway/cycle lane along the northern side of the A611 north of Hucknall and to the west of Linby. This work has already help limit the impact of traffic on nearby towns and villages.”
