I would like to raise that I am very concerned about the local plan. It seems very disconnected to what is happening to local facilities and transport locally:
The A1m traffic from junction 9-6 is the worst it has been and adding more homes to Baldock, Letchworth and Hitchin will drive more cars to use it.
The trains service in Baldock is going through consultation to reduce services at the same time as a consultation to add housing! This does not feel joined up.

Schools and doctors are under pressure in Baldock currently. This needs significant consideration.
