Alternative Sites Consultation

Representation ID: 44119

Received: 30/03/2010

Respondent: Mr & Mrs David Venus

Representation Summary:

The development would merge Lillington and Cubbington. Native wildlife habitats would be lost. Flooding has always been an issue in this area.

My main concern is the road network. The increase of traffic in the area would be a disaster waiting to happen. The roads cannot bare the increase in vehicles.

Also, where are the employment opportunities? None in Cubbington or Lillington, so these people will all have to use the road networks locally. Schools are full, plus the pending closure of North Leamington will mean that transport will be key.

I find that developing this area would not only merge Lillington and Cubbington, but firstly native badgers and foxes would lose there homes which would be a great shame. Flooding and irrigation has always been an issue in this area too since I have lived here for over 25 years.

My main concern is how these potential homes are going to be served by the road network. It will increase the amount of vehicles on Leamington's busy roads plus the roundabout on the Rugby Road/Windmill hill would be a disaster waiting to happen. Parklands and the tiny Cul-de-Sacs cannot bare the increase in vehicles. Where will the buses go to?

Also, where are the employment opportunities? None in Cubbington or Lillington, so these people will all have to use the road networks locally. Schools to ( Cubbington/Lillington and Telford) are full for the 5-12 years, plus the pending closure of North Leamington will mean that transport will be key.
