Full text:

Norton Lindsey has inadequate public transport (4 buses leaving the village per week - 2 to solihull & 2 to Stratford) and cannot provide adequate services for the current residents - additional housing would severely increase the problem.

Increased use of vehicles would be essential and this would add to the dangers for pedestrians, children and animals.

The roads are narrow (with a number of tight bends) around the village and leading out towards Waewick, snitterfield and Claverdon. There are a series of well known "accident spots" on the edge of the village.

This is a rural location with frequent moving livestock and farm machinery, and exercising of horses - increased traffic would be a further danger.

Main Street is very narrow with no pavements or safe areas for pedestrians.

No cycle lanes/tracks, dangerous to cycle out of the village.
