Posted by Cuthbert Thickett: So we have a campaign group to fight against new homes in Minch, a campaign group to fight against new homes in Summer Street, a campaign group to fight against new homes west of Stonehouse, and campaign group to fight against new homes in Leonard Stanley. Can someone from these groups please tell me where we will build homes for our children and grandchildren, where will they live, how will they afford it? The world is changing, we are all living longer, we need homes. They have to go somewhere. Please don’t answer yes but not here, be more imaginative. Maybe a more realistic campaign will be to campaign for more homes, affordable homes, homes spread around the district.

Posted by kjag23: We desperately need more houses in the area. I am a Stroudie born and raised but forced to move away due to the house prices.

We need developments like this, what would be better would be if they had selling criteria so only locals could purchase them. Lots of green spaces and a new doctors’ surgery would be great.

Providing the roads will be made suitable for traffic I’m all for it. These nimpys love to complain.
