Waterbeach Neighbourhood Plan - Submission version

Representation ID: 168638

Received: 16/03/2021

Respondent: Jackie Flitney

Representation Summary:

With the high volume of traffic on the A10 and it being a link road at peak hours and continuing throughout the day, how can further development even be considered before safety in waterbeach? As a clinician, the number of accidents is already extremely high, and already over the past twelve months there have been four deaths locally, through serious accidents on this stretch of road, and many minor accidents that go unreported. It is absolutely devastating that concerns raised have been responded to as a non priority, and as to such maybe we need to start looking at priority rather than money making, unworkable, slums.

Why move a railway from the centre of our village after just spending millions extending the platform and inconveniencing village people for your new development who walk to the station to get to work, and have done for many years?

The volume of traffic will increase in the village to it’s already gone bursting capacity and local services that can already not cope!

Our wildlife is being pushed out if it’s natural habitat into more built up areas of the village!
Why should decent people, born here, moved here for a village life, to be near the amenities they want, make way for proposals that totally spoil a rural habitat and change their way of living, for those who have no idea of the impact and safety of others.
