Representation Summary:

The construction of further homes in this location will only add to the
pressures on existing infrastructure, the result of very poor planning for
Warwick Gates.

Most importantly this has led to a lack of a fundamental community focus &
poor cohesion between residents, reflected e.g. in anonymity & anti-social
behaviour from those 'no-one recognises,' that will be simply exacerbated
by the construction of additional homes.

This is not just a numbers game, it's about creating healthy communities,
and existing residents are being failed, let alone new ones.

As an resident of Warwick Gates since it was built, I echo the sentiments
relating to traffic congestion & concerns about safety.

Additionally the construction of further homes in this location will only
add to the pressures on existing infrastructure, the result of very poor
planning for Warwick Gates. Disjointed schooling, poor recreation
facilities, a stretched medical centre and basic amenities - have you tried
parking by Whitnash or Warwick Gates shops & community centre? - are
already unacceptable.

Most importantly this has led to a lack of a fundamental community focus &
poor cohesion between residents, reflected e.g. in anonymity & anti-social
behaviour from those 'no-one recognises,' that will be simply exacerbated
by the construction of additional homes.
