Some have even considered moving out
They have been caught in the crossfire of countless political arguments over affordable housing. But for people living at Didsbury Point, it's not just politics.
"If it was 76 apartments that were being built for sale, we would have the same objections," she said. "If it wasn't affordable, they wouldn't have approved it." "There are existing infrastructure issues," according to Jen Beaver who has lived in Clearwater Drive for seven years. "Things are already not working."
All three Didsbury West councillors - two Labour and one Lib Dem - raised concerns on behalf of residents at a planning committee meeting last month. Several residents attended the meeting too, but some decided not to because they felt it was a 'done deal', according to Lib Dem councillor John Leech.
The committee did not accept his invitation, but councillors agreed that a car parking management strategy should be required from the developer. This means that the developer will have to work with the local authority to make sure parking arrangements are working properly and review them if they are not.
A member of the planning committee himself, the former MP objected to the application before the meeting which meant he was not allowed to vote on it. However, he accused other members of the committee of breaking the rules by taking part in the debate despite having distributed leaflets in support of the development – allegations which were dismissed by the chair of planning.
It also accuses the Liberal Democrats of not voting to oppose the application 'as promised'. However, Coun Leech denies ever having promised to vote against the application, because he was not a member of the planning committee when the intial plans for the scheme were first published.
