Since the increase of housing within DH/Tidbury heights, road traffic has increased, most days causing a standstill at school times at the 2 local schools. With more houses planned to be built will increase the number of new pupils. I foresee a fatal accident waiting to happen, with the amount of traffic already going through these areas, more parents dropping off/picking up their children with little parking on offer.

Tythe Barn Lane struggles generally on a day to day basis with the traffic that goes through here, how on earth would this road physically cope with 350 new houses! Open space, sports facilities.

The current houses in the village including the building of affordable housing will bring down the prices of houses currently in the area. We moved to Tidbury Green, due to it being a lovely village with the green belt land, open spaces and sports. We have invested a lot of money into our property and feel this will have a negative impact on ours and many others around us. Crime has increased drastically and without a local police station, this isn't going to get better it will put even more strain on the police force.

The infrastructure i.e broadband and mobile phone reception is also horrendous and many of the new houses are also struggling. Services are unfit for purpose especially in this day and age and no answers to when this will improve.
