Representation Summary:

Option 2a would be favourable in my opinion. This is because of the proposed development of infrastructure regarding the east/west railway and the construction of a 2/3 tier roundabout at the blackcat roundabout.
This would be enough development until at least 2099.
Regarding the impact on st.neots with a new house development abutting it would cause pressure on a small town in Cambridgeshire as the local services are liable to be used by the new housing development, schools, shopping, parking, NHS surgeries, Waste disposal and re-cycling plants, highways use, etc etc. St. neots being in Cambridgeshire would receive no recompense or resources off Bedfordshire authorities for the strain it is putting on its services.
At a recent common rights proprietors meeting it was discussed about a boarder change that it could be considered Wyboston, Chawston, Roxton could be considered to fall under the Cambridgeshire boarders.
Am Agricultural buffer zone could be set up north of Barford so no development extended beyond this and therefore put no infrastructure strain on st.neots.
Just some thoughts, as those of us that live in Wyboston, Chawston etc already fall under the Cambridgeshire NHS trust and other services.
