We live in Radwell 1 mile from Baldock it can take over 20 minutes to do that journey by car because of the amount of traffic that uses the A507 as a bolt hole that's without H.G.Vs that regularly hit the railway bridge even after extensive modifications to the bridge, then that causes even more havoc, WE CANT GET DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS NOW it can take up to 2 weeks to get an appointment now because of the population of Baldock now without having thousands of extra residents trying to access our facilities, Their are no plans for any guaranteed infrastructure especially roads or bypasses OUR HOSPITALS CANT COPE NOW, I waited 8 months for a hospital appointment at my nearest Hospital there are no plans for more hospitals in this area. I was critically ill in intensive care for 6 weeks but was taken to the QE 2 in Welwyn Garden City 20 miles away my wife doesn't drive and had to try to get there every day for that 6 weeks.
HOW WILL OUR HOSPITALS & DOCTORS COPE!!!
SCHOOLS, local people can't get their children into local schools now so have to drive them there making more traffic into our already congested small town.
PARKING an absolute nightmare now, parking for the tiny rural station is a big issue hundreds park anywhere they can in & around Baldock & the villages obstructing our narrow lanes while they commute to London & main Cities OUR GREEN BELT, is getting smaller & smaller merging village life into massive style estates, WHERE ARE THE GUARANTEES FOR ALL THESE POINTS THERE ARE NONE.
