As a resident of Barling Magna for many years, I am very concerned about the possibility of more houses being built in the village. We do not have the infrastructure as the roads are very poor around this area. It's so important for Barling Magna to remain a village, we would not need any more services if this was the case.
1. We do not have any local shops.
2. Wakering Doctors Surgery is already overcrowded and you could die before getting an appointment.
3. We are in a flood plain.
4. The drains and gas pipes could not cope and already full with water, so I am sure sewers would not be able to cope with more houses.
5. The roads are always full of cycles and people horse riding, more traffic would create untold accidents on winding country roads.
6. We currently have nice surroundings and it would be a travesty to destroy this with new houses.
7. Who were the people who proposed Barling. I bet they do not live here!!
