Once again I find myself objecting to the above on the grounds of there being no new major road construction planned meaning all site traffic will be accessing this site by means of an already over used road system, plus if this gets the go ahead means all the extra traffic from the homes being built. 660 homes planned could mean over 1000 vehicles leaving and returning via the only access road which leads out to a country lane. Imagine the chaos!!

Lets not even talk about using public transport. Wigmore doesn't have a very good bus service as it is. Take that from someone who would love to use public transport but its just not feasible.

Then of course we need to address the problem of schools. The local schools are already full. Are there plans for a school as I'm sure Cockernhoe school couldn't cope with such an increase.

Then of course there's the doctors. Existing residents have to wait up to 3 weeks to see a doctor and if its an emergency then you're told to go to the walk-in centre. I know this for a fact as its happened to me and is totally unacceptable. I have been informed that all doctors surgeries in the Wigmore area are over subscribed and are still taking on new patients!!

All this and still not taking into account local endangered wildlife.

660 new homes planned by Crown Estates with a further over 1,000 new homes planned by Bloor homes within the same vicinity of Wigmore but taking in Tea Green.
