Alternative Sites Consultation

Representation ID: 43714

Received: 17/03/2010

Respondent: Mr Ray Kirk

Representation Summary:

My main 4 objections are:
- Traffic volume & safety as I cycle here every day
- Local services (e.g. nurseries and schools) cant cope
- Flooding is already a problem and this will make it worse
- The countryside here is very much used by the local residents.

I am very concerned about the proposed development between Cubbington & Lillington.

There will be a big impact on traffic, both volume and safety. I cycle every day down the Rugby/Cubbington Road and the thought of 1000 cars pouring out every morning at rush hour doesn't bear thinking about.

There will be a big impact on local services too. We also have 3 children who will be attending Pathways Nursery and Cubbington school and dont see how 1000 families could be accommodated at these and other such places.

Then there is the flooding! Cubbington drains cannot cope with the last waves of development that have occured (e.g. Austen Court), so it is madness to add to the problem.

And the loss of countryside - a lot of people walk this way going through to Offchurch, and I run here regularly.
