Dear Mr White
I read with interest on your web-site your letter to Councillor Doody regarding the local development plan for Warwick.
Having been dismayed and depressed at the obvious lack of concern for the quality of life of current residents displayed in the 'Local Plan', I am much cheered by your vigour in defending our interests.
A plan that will allow for balanced growth and growth that is compatable with, and responds to, local needs is surely all that is required. Why is there a need for more than that.
For myself a great concern is the air quality in the streets of Warwick. Traffic exhaust make it worse than is legally permitted, and the District Council is charged with improving air quality, this plan will make it so much worse. The children of the future have a right to expect us to act responsibly and protect the world that they will inherit.
A plan that envisages more than 12,000 new homes in the area will have such an impact on every aspect of daily life, from health-care to the sewage system, that I can only describe it as ill-conceived and reckless.
I am consoled that younger, better and more talented minds that mine are now working to protect the area that we know and love.
