A Willow Walk resident has written in response to the news that Mid Devon District Council and Devon County Council have arranged a meeting with Persimmon Directors regarding residents concerns over construction traffic moving to and from the development site at Fairfax Mew, Cromwell’s Meadow, Crediton.

Again this indicates a move to more pointless rhetoric that will prolong the disregard for the planning stipulations, make the elected representatives and council official look active and leave the residents at the same point.

After many meetings with the site manager and main contractor surely it is past the time for yet another meeting - It is time for action!

The action that is laughingly called the penalty clause should have been enforced months ago with restrictions and/or financial levies applied.

Why is it that we, the residents, are having to continually complain and evidence what our elected representatives could witness for themselves with un-announced observations of the site and the poor practices and disregard for rules would be evidence at first-hand and would possibly not be questioned for it authenticity?

We moan, (no-one except us), and are affected, so it becomes a case of "it's not a case of NIMBY for the representatives it's only Willow Walk", so lip service and emails to make it look like our officials are following the planning agreement will suffice as an audit trail!

Meetings generate dialogue, this will probably instigate a need for yet more meetings that will undoubtably lead to a full and generous agreement to comply.

Then all the audit trail is in place but nothing will actually happen.

Use the legal process now, they have had enough warnings and chances to get it right.

We are months into the build and there is still a proposed 13 months to go of this disruption, inconvenience and disrespect of the resident and their property access.
