Hotel would make a suitable care home

WHY are local councillors so against the development of Soham Lodge Hotel. Is it because they will not gain anything from it?
As a local resident of Qua Fen Common, this is far more suitable as a care home than anything else.

As previous plans were accepted by the councillors to turn this into a residential training site, it will be far less dangerous as a care home.

Under the original scheme, there would have been JCBs and lorries training and turning. As residents the issue of safety was raised.

The residents of Fairhaven have not been run over on the railway lines and no one has wandered on to the A142 where Fenland Lodge is, so why the worry? These factors will be taken into consideration.

As we have a rapidly ageing population, we surely need more local care facilities for our elderly family members, rather than having to drive miles to visit elsewhere.
