Objection to Knebworth:
Rail links need to be expanded. Roads are too narrow for traffic which cannot flow in two directions simultaneously in Gun Lane, Station Road through the narrow bridge and also down the High Street.
The railway service going South during rush hour is already at capacity and services are also planned to be cut with trains to Peterborough no longer stopping at Knebworth. Gun Lane has become a dangerous cut through for cars travelling too fast down a road which is only wide enough for one car in order to avoid the High Street which is always gridlocked as it is also only wide enough for one car to get down at a time, due to parking on both sides of the road. Further housing development would increase the local population and execerbate these problems.
