If Campion School is to be rebuilt, it should be in the middle of its catchment area, not on the edge furthest from the homes, to minimise the traffic.

Putting the school at the south edge of the built up area would inevitably lead to additional traffic on Golf Lane. This would get tangled up with all the traffic bringing the children to St Margaret's and Briar Hill schools. The roads cannot take it.

A large number of cars would use Fieldgate Lane to drop children off to go through the bridge under the railway. The road is not wide enough to cope with this, and the only turning space is the entry to the sewage pumping station.

The current sewage facilities in Fieldgate Lane are only just sufficient for the area. It cannot cope with 1000 additional houses and a large school.

1000 houses means 1000 additional cars trying to get off the Sydenham estate to drive to work between 8.00 and 9.00 every day. The traffic is already bad enough!
