Representation Summary:

Objection to allocations at Knebworth on the grounds of:
- railway bridges on Station Road and Gun Lane: pedestrian safety issues (including for wheelchairs and pushchairs)
- air pollution : location of homes next to a motorway is unwise - health

Full text:

[1] the railway bridges on Station Road and Gun Lane are already dangerous: the pedestrian footpaths are very narrow and completely unsuitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs. At busy times cars and other road transport have to take a chance that they won't meet something coming the other way!
[2] the proposal to build new homes and a school next to a motorway is unwise considering the current fear of the effects of air pollution. Who would indemnify against future health claims?
