Representation Summary:

I am horrified by your proposals around Green End. You seem intent on totally destroying what is a beautiful village. Water End, essentially a small collection of dwellings, will be sacrificed for a project that is unnecessary, poorly planned and clearly in an inappropriate area.
Will they have to close the A421 round-about? How much extra traffic will this entail, especially with heavy lorries? There is A TRO with restricted access through the village at certain times. Will that be ignored? We already have huge parking problems around the school, which no-one seems able to solve. This will make things far worse.
The powers-that-be have no idea of the chaos they are planning. 500 new houses at Great Barford, a new railway line, and now this! I can see NOTHING positive for our village in this. It seems that the authorities are only interested in the urbanisation of Renhold, and have no feelings for a very happy rural community.
PLEASE think again, and cancel the project before wasting even more of our money.
