There is much emphasis in the plan on housing however in this connection I am concerned about infrastructure and specifically parking.
Since the recent additional housing in Four Ashes, Hampton Road and Middlefield it has become almost impossible for shoppers to park in the village centre car parks. also St John's Close is full of cars whose drivers prefer not to pay for all day parking, thus creating a hazard.
I would ask that a substantial piece of land in the Arden Triangle be provided for all day parking to absorb the many business people who now work in Knowle, thereby freeing up the car parks in the centre for shoppers including the proposed additional numbers This issue needs addressing urgently if Knowle is not to snarl up completely. It is close now and I already refrain from just popping down to the village for fear of not being able to park. The current infrastructure in the village will not accommodate an extra 1000 houses, circa 3000 people and 2000 cars
