With view to the proposed housing development, we would like to voice a few of our concerns as follows.
Firstly the increase in the volume of traffic in and out of the village and Hampton on the Hill as it stands at the moment after a recent resistant survey the volume in one week was 28,000 cars passing through I.e. for the train station and cut through for Motorway and bypass build up. The villages are not able to cope with this and the current speed limit being 40 miles per hour which leads to higher speeding.
Through Hampton Magna particularly on Slade Hill corner at school time it is almost impossible to pass due to cars parked on both sides of the bad bend, never mind buses or even emergency services trying to get through. This is a potential hazard waiting to happen. This needs sorting as it is. What are the proposals for this? Also the speed limit needs to be lowered to 20
Secondly, since moving into the village 11 years ago, we now over the last 2 years wake to the smell of sewage, we believed the problem lay in our house but after having several independent companies out to investigate the problem which they couldn't fathom, have discovered at the Council meetings that it is a widely shared issue across the village. This coupled with at least one power cut a day doesn't bode well with adding more houses into the equation.
Being a resident of Minster close if you were to us our road for access you would have to destroy two very old trees and get past the issue of this streets resident parking!
At the Council meetings nothing was mentioned about the 110 houses that are going up on the IBM site, along with the continued building on Chase Meadow and the proposed new builds on Hatton. Couldn't some of these be allocated for the Coventry overflow? Given that the increase on the village housing has risen by double and is double the proposed building amount on other local villages.
It was proposed that the Island on the Birmingham road was going to be made larger at the cost of x amount of millions, we really think this will not solve the traffic issue in and around getting into Warwick as the problem lies in the very small market town called Warwick,, which was never build for 21st Century living.
