Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

The plan is flawed. The main questions that need straight, definitive, plain speaking answers to have NOT been communicated satisfactorily to the public. In all the jargon, legal speak and confusion o f interpreting the plans,where is the wording that answers the following questions succinctly and accurately.

1.Is a new Health Centre and extra doctors being allocated for the increased population?
2.Are school places being increased over all age groups?
3.How will road infrastructure be improved to keep traffic OUT OF BALDOCK TOWN CENTRE.
4.What provisions will be made for, in time, an increasingly elderly population from an extra 3,290 houses?
5.How will rail links to London AND Cambridge be made more efficient on an already overcrowded route, to avoid yet more traffic on our local roads?
6 How will a potential increase in crime be monitored? the police station was closed because Baldock deemed to be too small to need one!
7.Why has there been no "joined up" and long term thinking in these plans?

Unless the above points are all clarified positively, Baldock will continue to be the "poor relation" of North Hertfordshire , with the only difference being thousands of more peoples and vehicles to share what will be a miserable and soul destroying place to live if these plans are passed. But then again, those people who may pass the plans for this huge increase of houses wont HAVE to live here , will they ? Thus illustrating that yet again ordinary peoples concerns will be ignored.
