Full text:

The northern part of this plot uses land that will narrow the gap between Knebworth and Stevenage.
Transport. The Knebworth-Watton road is already congested with parking and speed humps and chicanes.
Oakfields Road at the NorthWest corner of the plot is already congested with commuter parking with traffic over all the grass verges. This road has a narrow egress out onto the B197. There was a serious accident there last December.
This road also carries heavy pedestrian traffic, often children, into the Recreation Ground as well as to and from Stevenage
