Wilstead does not have the infrastructure to support further housing. The roads are already needing significant investment to repair rutting, potholes etc. Access and egress is becoming more difficult with additional housing and I feel that Wixams provides enough additional housing for this area of Bedfordshire. We are lacking enough schools GP surgeries etc to support further dwellings. The village of Wilstead will also lose it's identity as a quiet small village with a close sense of community if further expansion is permitted.
