I am writing to express my concerns over the proposed development plans on the Crestwood estate. The field hosts many functions to the community primarily being a safe place for children and adults to play/exercise. Having been a life saver during the lockdowns. Helping to preserve both physical and mental wellbeing. To loose this hub forever would not only completely change the character of the estate but would be a terrible sad loss for the community.
Crestwood Primary School on Lapwood Avenue notoriously struggles for parking. With the road becoming dangerously narrow during drop off and pick up times. The schools main entrance is situated at the bottom of a blind dip on a blind bend as viewed when driving in from Bromley Lane. The thought of actually developing Lapwood Avenue into a busy through road would instantly create a highly dangerous situation. The added traffic, noise and pollution would have serious affects on the estates population of which a large percentage are elderly
