Huddersfield Residents Voice Security Concerns Over Vulnerable Kids’ Home Plans

Huddersfield: Residents are raising alarms about a proposed care home for kids. The plan is to convert a big house on Birkby Road into a home for up to nine children aged four to 18.

The applicant, Samina Uber, believes the house is perfect. It’s spacious, has a separate annex, and offers plenty of parking. But not everyone is on board with this idea.

Some locals have voiced their concerns to the council. One resident mentioned feeling uneasy about safety and security. They worry about having more vulnerable kids in the area and how it might affect their family’s safety.

Another neighbor pointed out that the property has minimal fencing, which could lead to privacy issues and unwanted behavior. They feel the application downplays the risks involved.

One resident even described the house as an “old and crumbling mansion,” questioning its suitability for such a purpose.

The public consultation wrapped up on January 21, but a decision is still pending. Many are eager to see how this will unfold.
