I wish to object to the suggestion that 500+houses could be built on land between Clements Hall and Windsor Gardens in Hawkwell.
The roads are already extremely busy. The development would be nowhere near schools, or shopping parades, there is no real room for cycle paths meaning folk would have to use their cars. It is already difficult to get GP appointments without adding 1000s more people to their lists. Footpaths in Rectory Road are already too narrow when pushing a double buggy or wheelchair and while foliage remains unchecked.
In addition it would mean the loss of vey well used footpaths. These footpaths used by runners, walkers, dog walkers, and careful cyclists are vital safe routes away from the main road, for the mental and physical health of the local community.
