Respondent: H Nisbet

Representation Summary:

am writing to you regarding a letter I received, giving details of my local surrounding area proposed for housing. Firstly I would like to point out the (Massive) scale of all these developments and also the awful impact it will make.
I understand people need housing but it really is becoming absolutely ridiculous around here now.
I have lived in Ashingdon for 22 years and before that, Hawkwell for 33 years.
The are is rapidly changing and just simple car journeys are difficult due to high volume of traffic already.
The roads cannot cope with anymore cars.
Then there is the issue with not enough schools or doctors. They are over subscribed as it is. Then there is the loss of all the open fields and nature which many dog walkers etc enjoy, lost forever. I just feel enough is enough.
