I recently drove from Stevenage to St Albans in the morning, leaving at 7.30 am. It took me one and a quarter hours to cover 11 miles. This is a regular occurrence. Can you or anybody at the planning department tell me how the addition of over 11 THOUSAND houses in North Herts is going to improve this?
Development of this magnitude is not sustainable, and if allowed by the planning authorities then these authorities are not fit for purpose.
