My impression is that the Sydenham area is already quite a densely populated area and would be concerned about the areas ability to be supported in terms of the pressure that would be placed on
schools and health services such as GPs, Health visitors, community nursing and allied health professionals: How would things additional demands be met?
Questionnaire Response:
Part of the intrinsic qualities of Lillington and Cubbington is that it borders with the local countryside. This has natural benefits in terms of health and well being for residents of all ages. The further encroachment into the countryside which should be protected is would have negative affects on the residents and possibly residents within other parts of North Leamington, by distancing them further and perhaps limiting their ability or opportunity to benefit experiences such observing nature and walks into the countryside. This would potentially impact on the peacefulness that can be observed in Cubbington and I wonder how the council would envisage protecting these qualities and opportunities for its local residents and how would it protect the local wildlife?
I worry for the basic infrastructure of the area also. More residents and housing means more cars and traffic. The mini roundabout at the top of Windmill hill can already cause minor tail backs at
rush hour, mornings particularly and I believe this to be true for the road leading into Leamington
from Radford Semele into Leamington Spa which can get very busy/ congested. This is a route that I imagine residents in the new housing might also take, if exited via Off Church. How do you plan to support the increased traffic and relieve us from any potential congestion, irrespective of the route that we take?
In addition, what are you plans to cope for additional services that would be required in terms of housing and health provision? For example, I am only aware of one GP practice in the area on the Cubbington Road.
