Taylor Wimpey - Mary arber (27th May 2014 - 08:31:54) Since early this morning (Tueday 27th may) the residents of Canada Way have had to suffer with the vehicles from the construction site. Telephoning Taylor Wimpey is pointless since they don't open their customer care section until 9 o'clock ! We have just had a low loader turning round in a residential road, and then, blocking Midhurst Road.. This site is only just starting! Come on Parish Council, put your foot down and look after your residents, this site leaves mud and mess everywhere, and nothing seems to be done. As soon as the 'customer care' office opens, I will be contacting them. If anyone feels the same, please let them know.

Re: Taylor Wimpey - grant (27th May 2014 - 09:02:44) Contact EHDC planning enforcement, there will be a host of conditions relating to site traffic movement and facilities to ensure site waste does not transfer onto the highway.

Re: Taylor Wimpey - Mary Arber (27th May 2014 - 10:04:42) Grant, thanks for that, I'll get onto it straight away!!! M

Re: Taylor Wimpey - councillor b easton (27th May 2014 - 10:16:35) We are also going to report it today from the Parish Council Offices thanks

Re: Taylor Wimpey - Debbie (27th May 2014 - 12:39:18) I believe the sales office opens on Saturday, perhaps you could complain in person, I am sure they would appreciate it, particularly if they are busy with prospective purchasers. It might give them a feel of the quality of building they could expect in their potential new home!

Re: Taylor Wimpey - M.O (27th May 2014 - 13:35:09) Oh come on ! We all have to suffer some inconvenience at whatever may be being done anywhere in the village at some point, it's not as if it is going to be long term, I'm pretty certain the same disturbance was caused when your property was being built, or would you prefer it to stay as a scruffy unkept piece of land, once the development is finished, I'm sure it will look as lovely as as the rest of the area.

Re: Taylor Wimpey - liz (27th May 2014 - 16:43:30) When the Sainsbury's estate was being built there were strict controls on working hours and noise. When the builders didn't stick to this - a noise abatement order was put in place. We lived near there at the time and although it was very noisy and dusty at least you knew you would get peace and quiet at certain times. There was no noisy or outside work allowed on Saturday afternoons or Sundays. The only difference I would say is that this site is much smaller and the longer hours they work the sooner they will be finished. Good luck!

Re: Taylor Wimpey - K.A (1st Jun 2014 - 21:53:38) Really?!? Is it all that people do....moan, I live opposite this construction site and have no problems what so ever! They are very pleasant on passing, no noise out of working hours, no mess as they send out a road sweeper once if not twice a day to sweep the road where the lorries have been directly outside my kitchen window. Do we forget that all our houses were built at some point, so construction was happening then but did you moan about the noise and mess when your home was being built.....no! Get a life people!

Re: Taylor Wimpey - NICK (2nd Jun 2014 - 10:37:48) Do you think taylor wimpey may look at doing a face lift on the round about !! and may be sainsburys updating the roundabout by the store

Re: Taylor Wimpey - Eddie (2nd Jun 2014 - 13:03:02) I understand that there is going to be a Tesco Express on this site - interesting

Re: Taylor Wimpey - Irene Ellis (2nd Jun 2014 - 15:08:45) If you have been around the Sainsbury’s roundabout over the last week you will have seen a member of Liphook in Bloom on the roundabout planting a lot of daffodils and tulips which had been dug up from the beds in the village. Each year we recycle as many bulbs as we can around the village mostly on the grass verges but like you this year we thought that the roundabout needed brighten up. We actually dug up some 8,000 bulbs but obviously there is a limit to how many the team can plant as it all takes time and we already give a lot of time planting and maintaining the beds. So if any of you have seen a patch of ground around the village which could be enhanced with a few daffodil bulbs and you have a few minutes to plant them get in touch with a LiB member, all the information you need are on our website, and we will provide you with the bulbs free. By doing this you could help to make all of Liphook beautiful in the spring.

Re: Taylor Wimpey - NICK (3rd Jun 2014 - 10:18:34) i must say liphook looks so nice after the team have been out planting a big thank you gos out to the team, but i think taylor wimpey can do a lot to help

Re: Taylor Wimpey - M.O (3rd Jun 2014 - 21:01:24) What more do you think Taylor Wimpey should be doing ? £326,704 towards primary education £70,838. Towards off site open space improvements £25,508. Towards environmental improvements £10,000. Towards integrated transport measures £20,000. Towards habitat enhancement for relocation of reptiles from site As well as the social housing Ahh blood from a stone !

Re: Taylor Wimpey - rob (4th Jun 2014 - 16:50:01) The section 106 funds for the OSU site were supposed to go to improving access to the railway station for the disabled and very elderly!! A ramp to the south bound platform and raising of the platforms.

Re: Taylor Wimpey - Nicola (4th Jun 2014 - 18:21:33) Rob, I am very interested in the points you have raised here . I cannot use Liphook train station due to the accessibility issues. For a village that has a large aged population & residents with mobility issues , I find it quite astounding that there are no accessible provisions , especially when other forms of public transport (the bus service) is next to useless. Not to mention the lack of blue badge bays in Liphook in general. I believe that there is a charge to view /have a copy of the Section 106 agreement (though it may have changed since I last viewed a section 106 for a play area). I will do a little digging!

Re: Taylor Wimpey - ellie (5th Jun 2014 - 23:49:35) The silent garden development was supposed to give funds for a disability platform., not the OSU site. I do not know if the papers were ever signed, but as this site has not been built on it did not happen. It is really the responsibility of whoever owns Liphook Station to pay for their own improvements surely? Have you tried lobbying railtrack or whoever owns the station for this?

Re: Taylor Wimpey - Jack (6th Jun 2014 - 15:59:46) This is not about lorries and site traffic coming off the roundabout near the Taylor Wimpey site and into the Taylor Wimpey development. The problem is the lorries are coming into the development down Ontario Way, passed the Millennium centre and through the existing houses. We have now witnessed so many getting stuck and performing dangerous turns and having to back up on the tight turns, driving over the pavements near to where children are playing and people are walking. The drivers need to be advised of the correct route to the site.

Re: Taylor Wimpey - s (6th Jun 2014 - 21:12:41) I am in agreement with Jack and the original poster, this is about the site not anticipating deliveries and delivery drivers not being informed about the layout of the estate. Many trucks are driving up Canada way and the site gates are locked so they carry on and either turn round in Quebec Close (which is blocked paved and not highways agency adopted so at a risk of being damaged) or they continue into the estate which is so twisty and tight that these trucks have no chance to get round! If they are expecting deliveries they should be ready for them OR better still they should take deliveries through the entrance by the beaver industrial estate which would allow the trucks to pull of the road whilst gates are unlocked!
