The proposal for settlements in the east (e.g. Dennybrook) has a number of flaws. The local roads are not capable of supporting (even with engineering effort) the flows of traffic to St Neots, the A1, A421 and new E-W rail station. The Black Cat upgrade has not been designed to support Dennybrook. The planned improvements for the A1 will restrict local access with links being closed. St Neots is expanding and has not included the additional pressures on services. I am concerned that the new town will not be able to develop its own identity because of St Neots' proximity.
