Wilstead should not be a Key service centre
Housing allocation should cover all of Bedfordshire,not just south of Bedford
Why is Bedfordshire allocation of houses higher than other local authorities
Small villages should not be targets for large allocation of housing
I believe Wilstead should not be a key service centre,it does not have a GP surgery,small local school,limited shops
And is the only area where 2Key service centres are next to each other.
We should not be looking at being allocated 500 houses
The village only has less than 1000 houses ,including mobile home site
This would ruin the village identity,larger villages or towns would be able to cope with this better
It seems most of the housing allocation is been given to south of Bedford,it should be allocated more fairly.
This would include north of Bedford,in area likely to be covered by new rail stations.
