Respondent: Ray Anderton

Representation Summary:

I have experienced in another part of the country a large housing development by one local authority on its borders where residents of its neighbour had to bear many of the disadvantages of additional pressures on its infrastructure, especially roads, without having the council tax revenue to achieve the necessary improvements.

The roads around the University are already under severe strain from the University (which continues to grow) and the Westwood Business Park, and are totally inadequate for increased usage which would be generated by your proposal.
