## Resource

Whetstone’s future is at a crossroads as a controversial 115-home development looms right next to the M1 — sparking fierce local opposition. With 22 out of 27 residents against it, concerns over lost village charm, flooding, traffic chaos, and crumbling roads are mounting. Though developers tweaked the plan and planning officers say privacy won’t be compromised, 38 conditions still hang over the proposal. The final verdict? The planning committee votes Thursday, June 11th — and the village’s soul may hinge on it. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
