Object to Knebworth development (general): rail capacity, traffic, education provision (primary and secondary), health infrastructure, library being downgraded
Am writing to strongly object to the proposed 666 new dwellings in Knebworth and propose that this amount should be reduced to 333 new houses.
Concerns are as follows:
A) No new GTR trains and a proposed reduced time-table and possibly no future fast train to London from Knebworth.
B) The roads and high street around Knebworth are heavily congested now and we do not require more cars, people or pollution.
C) The Primary School in Knebworth is FULL; possibly new Primary School (?) ....no new Secondary School, Secondary School provision for Knebworth is mainly in Stevenage.
D) Doctor`s Surgery is to be relocated and Knebworth Library downgraded to be run and organised by volunteers.
E) Current waiting time in A+E at "The Lister Hospital" to see a Doctor is 6.5/7 hours.
A rethink of the current proposals is urgently needed due to increased pressure on current infrastructure.
