Sharmans cross road development of playing fields
I am registering my objection to the proposed development of the playing fields in Sharmans cross road.

My reasons are quite simple
The density of properties is at its peak currently The roads, schools, doctors do not have the capacity to cope with a new development The traffic is already to heavy and any increase would be dangerous there are already issues with parking and air pollution from stationary traffic. The pavements are particularly small in certain areas and there will undoubtedly be increased danger to pedestrians, especially children who walk and cycle to school. There was a major incident only last night.
There are not enough sporting grounds in the borough, if any development goes ahead another sporting space would be lost forever, as I understand there is a commitment by the council to keep this land as sporting ground.
