Representation Summary:

I wish to express my opinion that I do not feel that the site at Water End/Green End, Renhold is suitable for an employment development and I object to the proposal.

It is already dangerous to walk along some of the narrow pavements in Renhold. In some places there are no pavements. The village roads were never built to take the huge increase in the volume of traffic which was a result of Bedford Bypass, let alone a further increase. The parking outside the school causes real problems for not just through traffic (which still occurs despite a Traffic Restriction Order) but for villagers trying to access their own homes.

Loss of any farming land is not what is needed in England at this time. This country needs to make itself self sufficient.
This is not a suitable site for such a scheme
