I strongly oppose your plans to include Renhold into the urban extension. Here are my reasons for that view:
• We are currently addressing the need for traffic calming measures along Hookhams Lane as traffic is too fast and dange ro us. Expanding the number of traffic movements in and through the village boundary will only add to the problem that has already been identified as hazardous.
• We already have a serious traffic problem in the village, with approximately 2000 cars passing along the Water End junction to the bypass per day and 2500 travelling along Ravensden Road and the TRO seems to be unenforceable. More traffic would be intolerable.
• Why have you not done any traffic modelling?
• Is there a safety highways report as there are no continuous footpaths in Renhold and, in spite of the ASC at Green End to Top End and the VAS at Hookhams Lane, Ravensden Road and Green End, cars continue to speed between the two devices.
• This would do nothing to aid village cohesion. In fact, it would divide us.
