Representation ID: 12278

Respondent: Mr Anthony Hadlington

Representation Summary:

There are many brown sites available that could be used that won't impact our children's well being, that said our schools locally are oversubscribed. It is a battle to get a place at local schools. We need to get traffic off the roads, not increase it. Our grandson as an example he did not get his first choice of primary school He will Never be able to walk to school because of the distance. This no doubt is the case tor many local residents and will only become more and more difficult as new developments spring up.
Schools are already oversubscribed. More houses create more traffic. All the children in these houses will be driven to school because the distance is too far to walk because there is no availability at local schools. We are supposed to be reducing traffic, due to pollution etc destroying our planet. Nothing in the proposals is helping our environment. The government has
targets for new homes but also has targets to reduce pollution. The 2 contradict each other. I have no idea which is their priority.
