I am writing in Referance to the proposal to build 200 homes in the Abby field West of Elstow.
This concerns me in many ways.
- the impact to the local landscape.
I moved to the area as the setting was green and a breath of fresh air. Moving from a town centre setting to somewhere for my family to grow and breath without inhaling pollution. I have 2 young children and the additional pollution is concerning me for there future health issues.
The loss of local wildlife is something to consider you would be removing/destroying home for these wild animals. Where would they go?
Would they be safely removed. I don’t see this. I see bulldozers tearing down our natural beauty.
- additional traffic
Traffic at present can be an issue of local residents when leaving the estate.
The additional homes will lead to additional vehicles causing more chaos.
The local village roads are not designed for a heavy traffic passing through. I believe this is going to cause more wear/damage on the roads leading to damage to cars.
- healthcare and education
At present the surgery that supports our community takes months to get a routine appointment. With the addition of 200 home and approx 1000 extra residents it will be impossible to get one.
Not to mention the impact to our local schools. Class numbers rising and not all our children will receive the valuable support they need to nurture there need to learn and grow.
Please please please reconsider this proposal.
