Failure to include in aspirations the need to provide public facilities that are presently missing in Romsey and for which this is one of the few sites where they could be provided ( Dr's Surgery, Primary School, Pre-School) or small scale artisan workshops.

School provision in Romsey is already oversubscribed. Unless the County believes that children should have to walk ( or more likely be driven given the distance) to Primary Schools beyond their immediate neighbourhood this site represents one of the last opportunities to rectify this failing. Waiting for the County Report means the likelihood of utilising this site will have been lost. Contributions towards other distant schools ( Abbey Meadows or St Matthews?) are inadequate and mark a failure of the County to provide neighbourhood schools.

The 'Scoping' exercise is very limited and relies on the assessment of the county who will never spend money on anything unless they legally have to do so. An independent assessment should be made. Mill Road bridge is patently unsafe except for confident cyclists, and if St Matthews becomes the designated Primary School for the area then a crossing either over or under the railway would be a safe and much needed facility. Space needs to be left to build either a bridge or tunnel ( as at Royston ?) in future.

Has the idea of a bridge/tunnel from Cavendish Rd entrance to rail tracks to Council Depot been properly assessed ?

This fails to mention:
1. Romsey Rec is already fully used. The recent council consultation recognised this, and the danger of increasing useage destroying the character of the park.
2. Coldhams Common is inaccessible to children due to the dangerous road crossing.

3. The existing open spaces in Cromwell road are failed parks - there is no linkage,and no facilities for ball games etc.

The open space is too narrow - it looks more like a verge than an open space. Where is the area for ball games or play areas that do not disturb neighbours ? Where are the allotments ? The informal wild area is appears to be in an overshaddowed corner over looked by the proposed marque building.
