I have already expressed my views on the proposed new local plan but would like to emphasise the problems which someone like myself would have to face. I live on Theatre Street, Warwick which is already very polluted with traffic - for instance during the recent hot weather I have tried to get a decent airflow through the house by opening windows at the front and back but the amount of really dirty dust coming in has appalled me - I am elderly and should not be breathing such polluted air. Has anyone checked the pollution levels in Theatre Street recently? Any more traffic would adversely affect my health because of pollution but would also adversely affect my ability to get out and about.
I am also concerned at the proposed development on green field sites rather than using brown field sites - encroaching on our countryside has adverse affects on agriculture as well as appreciation of the countryside.
I have only lived in Warwick for the past ten years but have seen deterioration in the environment due to poor planning and even worse implementation. I can only urge those responsible for the environment to think very carefully before destroying all that is good about Warwick - even more than already done.
