Having lived in Rectory Road Hawkwell for 57 years I am horrified to think of the possibility of up to 800 dwellings being built on the fields behind us, there were many times the land at the back of us has either been waterlogged and flooding into our gardens and in some cases our houses.

The traffic in Rectory road has increased so much that there is congestion at both ends of Rectory road, where will the extra 2000 cars go as most people have 2 cars to each household, and the bus service is negligible, we will need another school and another doctors surgery like the ones we were supposed to have had in the Hall road development.

With the extreme weather forecast for the foreseeable future due to climate change this is a disaster in the making.

Please think again
