The roads in Hitchin are saturated during peak hours and any roadworks on the major roads result in significant congestion through the area.
The public transport infrastructure is either insufficient (buses) or utterly saturated (trains). The railway car park is hugely expensive and full everyday.
Meanwhile area pollution is above legal limits and causing health issues.
Yet the council sees it appropriate to build more houses by just adding on to existing towns.
Be brave and build new communities rather than drowning existing communities.
