This area is not suited for further development of this scale. A rural area, with 1930s infrastructure, has already been detrimentally affected by the exponential growth in Wootton and Kempston West. This plan does not take account of the already over burdened Ridge Rd. It wishes to destroy rural green areas to create 'green corridors'. It plans to add a Primary School within walking distance of an existing KR Primary school. Bedford Council has routinely failed existing residents for over a decade by allowing exponential growth without ensuring the road infrastructure is safe. This plan is reckless.
