As a Shipston-on-Stour resident, I object to SG17. The town has expanded significantly in the past 15 years with negative impacts on the town and residents.

The nearest station is a 30-minute drive during peak times and doesn't link to nearby employment centres. Stations with links to employment centres are further away and there are no viable bus connections from Shipston to the stations. Buses are generally limited. Roads are narrow and already not coping with increased traffic. There is a lack of safe pedestrian crossings. The roads flood regularly and significantly, especially Shoulderway Lane and the Mill Street bridge over the Stour. There have been sewage leaks since new housing estates were constructed. Shipston does not have adequate sixth-form school facilities, dentists, or GP services. There are limited green spaces for the population size and many proposed sites would destroy existing popular routes, with consequences for quality of life and health.
