FURTHER to the letters about the development at Carr Mill.
This is a very debatable issue.
Other areas across town have had areas where successful pockets of new build houses and flats have been incorporated successfully.
But my worries are that for 50 new homes, (assuming this brings in at least 150 to 200 people to the area), where will the necessary provision of doctors surgeries and other facilities such as schools, and open space for playgrounds be added?
Congestion at peak times is quite a problem in that area. How will this matter be dealt with then?
The main concerns appear to be adequate access at peak times, and the provisions of supporting amenities for the new residents.
Ideally a community centre and a library would be beneficial, as would a bus route.
