The plans for two new homeless support complexes were approved at the latest planning committee meeting
Furious residents have slammed a decision to build a new homeless support complex in Heywood - with some saying they will move out the area because of it.
“It’s ridiculous. You’ve got 18-25 year olds with problems moving in. Police had their reservations highlighted in their report, plus there are enough empty buildings in this town for that sort of thing. “There was something similar to this in Hartfield Street that had all these problems. I’m worried it is going to be a repeat. It’s worse for those that back into the green space, they’re going to have a two story building and the light is blocked.”
“It will be built 3ft from the back of our houses which will block sunlight. To be frank, I think it was a done deal and we were ignored. They were laughing at us at the planning meeting. A GMP crime report shared concerns about possible increased crime as a result of more residents at the complexes coming into the area.
Coun Danny Meredith, portfolio holder for Regeneration and Housing at the council, has said previously there would be checks completed before people enter the accommodation, adding the site is mainly targeted at preventing youth homelessness.
