Objection to Knebworth on the grounds of:
- traffic queuing - London Road
- parked vehicles on either side of the road in the village
- little parking in the village for shoppers
- pedestrian safety
I would like to object to the proposed plans for housing in Knebworth. As a resident of the village and a driver I already find it difficult to drive through the village and trying to turn on to London Road to go in either direction early morning and late afternoon is extremely difficult due to the amount of traffic queueing. Further housing will make this much worse as the roads are already congested.
With vehicles parked either side of the road in the village, traffic queues to get through and when there is a large vehicle, such as the bus, it takes much longer. There is little parking in the village for shoppers and more people living and driving In the village will exacerbate the congestion. It is already a danger to pedestrians as, even though there is a crossing by the shops, seeing past queueing traffic when driving in case there is someone crossing, is difficult.
The centre of Knebworth does not have the capacity to take further vehicles and ignoring this can only lead to further problems.
