Oaklands Park Traffic - Lib Dems raise local concerns

11.53.00pm GMT Mon 29th Oct 2007

An additional car park, positioned on existing tennis courts, has been approved by Chelmsford Borough's planning committee. This despite objections from local residents, who were concerned about extra traffic movements within the park. Lib-Dem County Cllr. Keith Francis attempted to persuade the Council to amend the scheme citing strong reservations from English Heritage and the ways in which, in his view, serious harm would result from this decision. An additional tennis court has been promised.
