Regarding the upcoming plans for additional housing in the Cheswick Green /Dog Kennel Lane area I don’t doubt there are a lot of people who would like to live in this area but having seen the services that have been put in to accommodate Blythe Valley I do feel the Council should think again before agreeing to this proposal in it’s current state. Schooling is inadequate there should have been a facility alongside the housing in the Blythe Valley area before now, I do not think young children should have to come so far to school especially if on foot and as there seems to be no other form of transport currently provided other than car (for which parking is totally inadequate) maybe this should have been addressed from the start. Also Cheswick school whether doubled or not will not accommodate play, parking or any other space for the additional children. Please do not let these plans go ahead until much more research is done and practical measures are sought not just for the children but also for the elderly in the area of which I am one.
