Representation Summary:

Having recently moved from an urban development in favour of rural living, I am saddened to hear of the complete urbanisation plan of a Kempston "Rural".

The fields behind The Chase are a haven for wildlife: deer, foxes, muntjac, birdlife. There's also a public footpath in to the Marston Vale conservation area which is used by surrounding residents.

The Ridge Road would struggle to support the increase in traffic and alteady stretched services would be stretched further. Bedford's Green spaces make it a desirable location to live...we cannot continue on this path of building on every inch of spare land.
