Residents expressed significant concerns during a recent government meeting regarding the destruction of local environmental features and the implications for future development in their neighborhood. One resident highlighted that a proposed retention pond was completely bulldozed, raising questions about the planning and execution of drainage solutions in the area.

The resident noted that instead of the originally planned drainage system leading to Bishop Creek, three large tubes were installed under a road adjacent to their property, diverting water through a gully. This change has sparked frustration, as it appears to contradict earlier commitments to manage drainage effectively.

Additionally, the resident criticized the removal of trees and natural vegetation, questioning the integrity of plans for a green zone amidst the proposed construction of an apartment complex. Concerns were also raised about the proximity of a major overhead power line to the planned development site, suggesting that safety and regulatory approvals may be at risk.

The meeting underscored the community's apprehension about environmental degradation and the adequacy of infrastructure planning in light of ongoing development projects.
