I support the rejection of option 4. I consider the coalescence of Radford and Sydenham/Whitnash a real danger and the settlements already too close. The road access into the village via Lewis Road and School Lane are already both under some pressure, This is made worse by lack of off street parking on Lewis road and the pressures of school runs on School Lane. Many children walk to school on both roads, and in places both the road and pavement are very narrow bringing pedestrians and cars very close together. Turning into School Lane can be tricky and especially emerging from School Lane can be dangerous and cause gridlock.
