The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
I was interested to read your report on Thursday, August 16, 2018, regarding the unauthorised biomass boiler system at Cedar Falls Care Home owned by Tanglewood Care Homes, and the comments made by Tracy Ann Shelbourn, a director in that business.
Ms Shelbourn claims: “Tanglewood Care Homes holds the views of our neighbours and the local community in the highest regard” and “will continue to listen and engage with residents as their concerns arise”.
I, along with others have objected to the siting of the biomass boiler at Hunters Creek, London Road, Boston, on various areas of concern.
This installation took place on April 30, 2018, with completion on May 31, 2018, and an application form was not completed until early June 2018, regarding its installation.
This was clearly a retrospective application by the agents from the Newcastle area acting on behalf of Tanglewood Care Homes.
To date, no-one from Tanglewood has contacted residents in Woodside about this installation, not before April 30 or since June’s belated application.
After reading your report, I wrote to Ms Shelbourn suggesting she meet to look at what residents in Woodside are complaining about, and reminded her of the claim/statement she made to the residents in Westminster Drive, Spalding.
To date, I have not had the courtesy of a reply.
What about the views of neighbours and the local community in the highest regard?
Today, to the residents in Woodside, Boston, Tracy Ann Shelbourn stands accused of not “continuing to listen, or engaging with residents as their concerns arise”.
In the meantime, these residents have been badly let down by their ward councillors, and have suffered the appalling decision made at a ‘planning meeting’, attended by few members, called with indecent haste!
