With regard to the number of houses to be built in Hampton Magna, I outline a few relevant points.

When we moved to this village in 1973 there were originally 6 shops and now we have only three, the other three have been adapted for housing Therefore with regard to parking outside the shopping area, the parking spaces have been taken over by villagers cars. Obviously this means there are less available parking places when children are dropped off at school. I used to walk my grand-daughter to school every morning, so am fully aware of the difficulties, particularly with regard to parents bad parking, causing big problems for the buses to negotiate their way round them. On a couple of occasions the bus driver has asked me to help with regard to guide him through the badly parked cars!

As you are aware there are problems getting on to the Birmingham road in the mornings. Many a time appointments in Coventry have had to be cancelled because of not being able to get out on to the Birmingham road, as the traffic lights are constantly remaining on red as the cars are at a standstill.
