BROOKLYN Garage is an ugly, split-level sprawl and has a detrimental effect, not only on this Conservation Area but on the 100-year-old residential area.

Look at it from Redland Road and then go to the planning office, see the plans, as I have, and then say as I say "give us homes please!".

Let us be a truly residential area with all the benefits i.e. the Link alive and thriving as it once was.

The Link would be very welcoming to the elderly incomers. And how pleased they'd be to have a Post Office on the doorstep and all the good shops and pubs (pub lunch!). I bet they will be happy sheltered here and the Link will be more than happy to welcome them.
