I would like to make my objections known about the "Revised" proposals to the Warwick District Local Plan 2013. Anything less consultative I have yet to experience! I feel my civil rights are of no consequence to the non-elected members of the WDC. I do not approve, and object to, the "Sheriff of Nottingham" approach to Local Government.

As the form produced is inadequate for the task, my specific objections are listed below:

ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE
Piecemeal "improvements" can be compared with the little Dutch Boy with his finger in the dyke. The proposed improvements are TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE! Warwick and the environs are already hopelessly traffic clogged. Until work starts on a by-pass or ring road any future housing development plans should, in all conscience, not even be considered.

AIR POLLUTION
Parts of Warwick Town Centre and adjacent feeder streets already have Air Quality deficits. What will 6,600 new dwellings - and the accompanying vehicles - do to the Air Quality?

HEALTH
Do not the WDC non-elected officers have a Duty of Care towards the health issues of the present inhabitants? Are the non-elected officers unaware of the detrimental health issues associated with poor air quality? A follow-on problem is the fact that the medical facilities are already over-burdened without space to expand.

I sincerely hope my objections will be taken seriously.
