Respondent: Mrs Gwendalyn Selo Skingley
Too much growth focussed around A421 which at times is extremely busy and does not flow freely. Logistic based employment in areas which are not accessible by public transport are exacerbating the situation.
Rail growth strategy is poor - there is no Wixams station and trains to and from Kempston Hardwick and Stewartby are infrequent and most regularly replaced by busses. Minimal parking provision at these stations for those who may need to drive to the station as poor cycling / footpaths in the vicinity
Too much of dwelling based growth does not have the infrastructure to support it
