this is being proposed near by. a 12 bed youth homeless facility.
it was apparently declined by another council area because of resident protests. the council has decided on another reserve, that they have zoned residential, to put the facility there instead.
the new area is residential not close to services and has a mix of retirees and families.
we have been approached to sign a petition against. we are not keen to lose our reserve, and wonder about the potential effects of close proximity to such a facility. in terms of property values and social problems.
sounds uncharitable i know. social inclusion being popular but we are uneasy.
we like a quiet uncomplicated life and want to feel safe.
apparently the age will be 17-24 so not really young.
but with all the new housing planned why do they need a specific facility why not be accommodated in either available or new housing? why do they need to be housed together?
any comments/experiences. regards
