Summerset Retirement Village
Dealing with Summerset Retirement village on Ripon and St Johns.
I have requested and read the environment court decision. Summerset was required to supply off street parking for its workers. It also stated it will recommend to new residence that St Johns Road is the main point of entry and exit.
There is no traffic impact report on Rippon Rutherford Worchester or Gowing. Council have said they will monitor after the retirement village opens.
I said that ridiculous 300 plus units it going to be manic. Visitors will find it easy to park Rippon Worchester than busy main road and residents will use Rippon more than st Johns.
In all the marketing by Summerset there is no mention of having to use St Johns to come and Go. I think I will be a disaster…
