We, the residents of Coxon St and Reader Street in Spondon, unite in opposition to the proposed conversion of 11 Coxon St into a 7-room House of Multiple Occupancy (HMO). Following the passing of a neighbour, the property was acquired by a property investor specialising in HMOs, threatening the character and tranquility of our historic neighbourhood. The proposed conversion poses several significant concerns. Firstly, our streets are already at maximum capacity for vehicles, and the introduction of seven more cars would severely impede emergency service access. Secondly, the uncertainty regarding the potential occupants of the HMO raises valid concerns about noise levels and community safety. Additionally, the conversion threatens to decrease property values and disrupt the peaceful atmosphere we cherish. We urge local authorities to reject this proposal and protect our community from the detrimental impacts of unchecked property investment. Your support in signing this petition is vital in preserving the integrity of our neighbourhood and preventing further exploitation by profit-driven investors. Together, let us send a clear message that the well-being of residents must take precedence over financial gain.
