With the builders now winning their appeal to build 350 houses, this has opened the way for a new development ‘Pickedmoor Thornbury’.

Is it not time for our councillors to fight for investment in Thornbury, ie reopen the railway line (not the aspired cycle route), Metro bus to Thornbury, better road surfaces and parking within Thornbury.

As I am afraid recent developments have shown these, and Buckover, will and can not be stopped.

With the huge amounts of council tax these houses bring in, surely Thornbury deserves investment now!
