Object to KB2: Traffic, highway safety, lack of early years provision

Full text:

Combined with the proposed building of 200 dwellings at Deards End Lane, this proposed build would essentially mean that 400 families with eduactional and highway needas would be traveling to and from the village on a daily basis. Park Lane is already a very busy road and we are concerned about our children's safety.
We are also worried about meeting the needs of so many more young families that would be living in these new properties, in particular, children under school age. Early years providers in Knebworth are currently over subscribed and would struggle to accomodate these children.
