Representation Summary:

Additional housing on the Abbeyfields Road will cause chaos. An additional minimum of 200 houses could result in an additional 400 cars using that road. Traffic lights or roundabout access would be needed resulting in queuing around the bad bend under the Hight Street which already has seen major accidents. West End is already congested most the day with traffic queuing back along Progress Way at rush hour. Cars from Abbeyfields already struggle to get out at the roundabout.

There are no provisions for additional school or doctors

The current facilities are not able to cope with existing demand. Which will mean more people will need to use cars to access facilities.
