The residents of Norbins Road, Glastonbury, are deeply concerned about the council’s plan to replace the crucial 52-space car park with houses. This isn’t just about losing a parking spot; it’s about the community’s safety, well-being, and future. That car park is a lifeline for local families, visitors, businesses, and St John’s School. It’s vital for Glastonbury High Street and essential for the daily lives of residents. Without it, the already crowded streets will turn into chaos, raising accident risks and making life tougher for everyone who relies on this space.
The impact of this development is much more significant than it seems. It threatens local businesses, disrupts the close-knit nature of the community, and could create tensions between long-time residents and newcomers. The aging Victorian sewage system is already strained—adding more capacity is simply not feasible. Plus, think of the parents who depend on that car park for dropping off their kids at St John’s safely. This disruption will affect all of the residents.
Frome has successfully fought off a similar proposal through collective action? Your voices matter!
If the application can’t be stopped now, then there may be a need to seek legal advice down the line.
