Objection

I object to this planning application strongly. I can't believe that it has being allowed to go on this long. It does not take the people of Buxton into account. Without parking people will stop shopping in the town, disabled people, people with young children, people with busy jobs that don't have time because the shops won't be open by the time they finish! All you want is to make expensive housing that Buxton residents won't be able to afford, to make money for someone else. Buxton history must be kept. All that needed doing is pulling down the springs and building it again in a better way. What you are doing is jeopardizing businesses that won't be back, by the time everything is built there will be no shops left in Buxton and everyone will suffer.
