The high street is the hub of the Knebworth community where children greet each other on the way to school, parents meet for coffee, commuters run to the station, charity shops and the pharmacy used often.
It is already a traffic hazard with cars speeding through or parking and the loss of Chas Lowe would help breathe some space back into this community, allowing for wider pavements to keep our children safe. The housing would only add to the current overcrowding of the village and make it unsafe for our children to commute to school and about their lives.
