Save Our Homes
Withdraw plans to regenerate Sheerwater Estate near Woking.
Why is this important?
Woking Borough Council are planning to demolish 500 plus properties on the Sheerwater Estate in Woking, plus all local shops and the church. With total disregard to us, the residents, who have been given estimates on our properties at well under the current market value, this proposal will put many at serious risk.
Built 60 years ago, the estate is home to many people their late 80's and 90's, who will be forced unwittingly into residential care. There are also parents with disabled children whose homes are already adapted for their needs, a mixture of owner occupiers and families in rented accommodation. With a strong community spirit, low crime rate and no vacant properties, the plans are affecting everyone and causing stress and trauma. The houses are solidly built and in very good condition, with some of the listed properties only 30 years old. NO ONE wants to move away from Sheerwater and we are totally against these proposals.
Woking Borough Council are avoiding answering our legitimate questions and concerns. Where will they relocate hundreds of homeless tenants? With offers far lower than the market, can people afford to move? What about schooling and the risk to children? Will dependants and their families remain together?
