Representation Summary:

There are already drainage problems without adding to it.
Traffic comes along Offchurch Road and Windmill Hill sometimes on the wrong side of the road at speed. Added difficulty from huge farming vehicles. It is very dangerous getting out of my drive on Cross Lane. If Windmill Hill is blocked with cars it will be horrendous. Cars going past the church are usually one lane as cars are parked up there.
Added delays, more traffic, none of these lanes were designed for speeding cars and big vehicles. It is all too dangerous as it is with traffic passing through Cubbington.

Cubbington gets flooded. There are already drainage problems without adding to it. The system is very poor.
Traffic comes along Offchurch Road to the top of Windmill Hill and vice versa, sometimes on the wrong side of the road at speed. There are also cut-throughs i.e. Cross Lane from Coventry, and turning left along to Offchurch and Vice versa. Cars and big vehicles speed. Added difficulty from huge farming vehicles. Drivers don't care about speed sound bends up towards the church. It is very dangerous getting out of my drive on Cross Lane on the bend on the hill. If Windmill Hill is blocked with cars it will be horrendous. Not to mention children crossing and the silly island at the top. All the traffic is trying to get to Leamington Spa or Coventry. Not to mention the new Tesco's traffic in Crown Way and vice versa. Cars going past the church are usually one lane as cars are parked up there.
If all this blocked maybe we could go Offchurch to Leamington. What happens when that is flooded?
The right just over the bridge in front of the pub is blind and people just do it without seeing cars coming at speed from Fosseway. Added delays, more traffic, none of these lanes were designed for speeding cars and big vehicles. It is all too dangerous as it is with traffic passing through Cubbington and around and believe me 30 mile and hour speed limit only angers people as well I know having them glare at you and drive on the boot of your car! Same happens down to Leamington.
I strongly object to extra housing as it is dangerous already.
