Full text:

I feel that this development is too large, especially as there will be a similar sized one close by. Knebworth is already struggling with transport and heavy congestion , making most of the roads a rat run.
There is currently a need for a secondary school in theis area as all children of this age have to travel out of the village to access their education. There is no mention of extra provision for children under statutory age and current providers are full to capacity at the present time, so where will all these new families go?
