As a resident of Telford Avenue I am very concerned about traffic. We already have considerable traffic problems, especially at times when parents are delivering and collecting children from Telford School. The junction of Telford Avenue, Parklands and Cubbington Road is already very dangerous. With the arrival of a Tesco store (albeit a small one) at Crown Way, the area will also be difficult to negotiate. The store is bound to attract shoppers who would not normally use Crown Way, plus additional housing is going to put a strain on the area. I understand that the new development will not include any facilities - thus shops, library and the clinic will be overloaded.

The site involved is at the moment part of a greenbelt area. What happened to the promise to keep these much needed breathing spaces? Will there be any recreational spaces or will people have to use their cars once again?

The underlying clay will inevitably cause more flooding to an area which already has problems.

With a lack of facilities and work opportunities in the area, would it not be better to find sites nearer to these necessary requirements?

Will these houses be suitable for the average person to buy? Or will they be left empty as so many overpriced properties are around town.
