I would like to highlight issues brought out in the "Key Housing Issues" section. Hatton Park is a relatively large community prior to the proposed expansion. This document notes the lower level of facilties and services expected for a comunity of this size. If the expansion is to be approved this matter must be addressed or Hatton Park will slip further back in this respect.
Secondly the document notes good transportation. There is a good (but expensive) bus service but the local train station is a good 1.5 mile walk away if you can't link up wit the bus or a very expensive £5 taxi ride.
My issue concerns road transportation. Every morning the A4177 Birmingham Road is gridlocked all the way back to and beyond the Hatton Arms. I appreciate this bottle neck oisn't caused by Hatton Park (more likely Warwick town centre issues) but again further expansion of Hatton Park will worsen this issue.
