Campaigners in Simister and Bowlee are opposing a proposed development that includes 1,550 homes, shops, and a healthcare facility, which is intended to support the larger Atom Valley scheme. Residents argue that adding such large-scale housing before local infrastructure issues—such as traffic congestion, long GP waiting lists, and poor public transport—are resolved would overwhelm the area.
