Planning Control
I have received notification the Secretary of State is now involved in the planning refusal & can overturn Havering refusal of the Travel Lodge application. What more can we do to prevent this 82 roomed hotel in Upminster High St.
It will cause traffic congestion and a unsafe environment for children going to school also will affect the buses
I still stand by my original opinion that it is totally the wrong place to put a hotel, with 3 schools close by, all the congestion we get at that junction. To my mind it’s just asking for more trouble.
