    UPDATE 4. Developing issues.

    The Cumbernock town council finally made a decision on the plans for the Harper Street Development. After much consideration they went for the second plan.

    Plan 2.

    They felt that it was the best of the two proposals, and it also that it met the criteria for residential development. During this process they have also made some alterations to the towns planning regulations. They have stated that no building can be taller than the spire of St Martins church and that no less than 15% of a development must be given over to residential development.

    With the planning finally accepted the Pope company could commence construction. The residential area was built first, quickly followed by the commercial units.

    Meanwhile, somehwere across town, Old Alberts new house has finally been completed and he has moved in. It's a very lavish house, and he is now the envy of all of his friends.

    The Construction over at Harper Street was completed several months after it commenced. Businesses soon moved in and the development has brought a further 160 jobs to the town.

    After.

    Th town council are delighted by the development and feel that it fits well into the town. To be honest they are liking the increased revnue they are receiving, and the increase flow of people to the area.

    With the development a great success and more people moving to the town, the Council is now looking at other projects. Something they have been thinking over for a few years is relocating St Martins Elementary.

    The small school was built in the very heart of the town centre, and some now feel that it was an error to build it there. Plans have been drawn up to buid a state of the art elementary school on the outskirts of town.

    The Cumber Farm, land which the council owns but leases to the Grant family has been highlighted as a potential site for the new school. There is still a long way to go on this issue, so we will have to stay tuned for further developments.

    Reminds me quite a bit of a town I lived in in Nebraska, only the city council there was very pro-sprawl.

    Whatever you do, don't let Wal-Mart move in! Keep the small town charm. 2.gif
