Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

I am a resident of Knebworth and am aware of certain developments in our village. Deards End and Gypsy Lane. I am a little concerned about. Housing developments of some 300 - 400 housing. The access from the village to these particular sites are under two bridges and over another bridge. All three bridges are of very narrow roadways plus pedestrian too, one side of road actually. To encourage more traffic to new housing development through under these bridges would be madness. It is at the moment a major hazard driving under these bridges plus not to say the pedestrian too, where mothers walk their children to the local school in London Road. An accident is waiting to happen!!!! Before even thinking of housing one needs to look at access to these developments from the Knebworth village.Plus another hazard is the high street of Knebworth, madness when the A1 has problems ie: accident. Then the traffic come though the high street, complete dreadlock many times !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your officers need to look into these issues before moving further with these housing plans !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
