Representation Summary:

I have read the plan and I can understand the need for more houses in the UK for people to live in. However, I strenuously object to the plan because if makes inadequate provision for supporting infrastructure. The roads we have are already clogged and the school, doctors surgeries and hospital provision etc etc ("infrastructure") are inadequate for the people we have living here now. Building lots of new houses, without simultaneously upgrading and increasing the infrastructure, is simply not acceptable.

Politicians of all persuasions and at all levels need to start listening to the people on the ground and the people in the Rockford District are generally of the view that all of this building needs to stop until someone does something to improve the 'infrastructure" to cope with existing needs let alone the needs which will be created by the proposed allocation of land for building.
