Community voices alarm over overcrowded housing development
During a recent government meeting, community concerns were raised regarding the rapid development of residential structures in the area, specifically referencing a project on Merwell. A local resident, Jeff Kelly, expressed alarm over the construction of 124 new homes, highlighting issues related to traffic congestion and inadequate emergency access.

Kelly noted that even before the development is fully occupied, illegal parking has already become a significant problem, with 17 cars observed parked improperly during a recent visit. He warned that the situation could worsen as more residents move in, potentially creating a \"monster\" of traffic and safety hazards.

The resident criticized the local government's approval process, suggesting that previous concessions made to developers—such as reducing building restrictions—have led to detrimental outcomes for the community. He urged officials to reconsider their approach to future developments, particularly with another project on Lock Cabin potentially following a similar pattern.

Kelly concluded his remarks by challenging local leaders to witness the situation firsthand, emphasizing the urgent need for a reassessment of development practices to ensure the safety and well-being of current and future residents.
