Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

I understand the ever increasing need for more homes in this area, but as a Royston resident, I would like to say that the traffic around the town is often near gridlock at peak times and I cannot see how the current infrastructure will be able to cope with the increased number of Royston residents. There is then the question of added pressure on our GP surgeries, schools etc.

I live off the A10 and in the past 16 years, the traffic has increased tremendously and I guess, will only get worse as time moves on.

Royston is a pleasant market town which is at risk of being completely spoiled by over development and losing the basic character of the town and surrounding area. Perhaps our local authorities should consider creating a completely new town rather than spoiling existing ones?
