I object to any of your options until you do something about the infrastructure. I have lived in the same address for 41years and in that time you haven’t done anything to improve the infrastructure other than a few dustbin roundabouts.

The roads cannot take any more traffic than it already does.
The Doctors Surgery cannot cope
The Hospital has an abnormal waiting list and this was even before Covid.

The list goes on, as you probably and hopefully must realise.
As daft at it seems we desperately need another water reservoir for the area. Had a meeting a few months ago and we will soon be running out of drinking water. Desalination processing units around the country were not an option as the whole pipework network is not capable in its present state. At present we are getting new Building Regulations passed through the Government that would help to, reduce the amount of water wastage at present.

As for filling your form in many people have given up as its to complicated. So how will you state it is a fair Consultation and you have reached every resident any way possible.
