I live on Tythe Barn Lane. I have lived in the village for fourteen years. To date it appears that the latter stages of the development of the village have been undertaken with little or no regard to the need to improve the local road network. I have little confidence in the ability of the authority to manage any future development and attendant increase in traffic. A recent upsurge in standing traffic (which must be solely attributed to the recent developments) has have resulted in a significant deterioration in air quality. Especially in the vicinity of a primary school. In addition the loss of mature and well regarded playong field with no real guarantee of a like for like replacement makes one question the authorities commitment to it's younger residents who are often vilified . Taking a source of recreation away from this group without fully replacing it is wholly irresponsible.
