I write to confirm my position on your abject plans for your 'Revised Development Plan' for Warwick.

There is a basic fundamental flaw to what you propose, namely your suggestion for the increased provision of housing is wholly inappropriate for Warwick and its environment.

Warwick is a magnificent, medieval town, attracting thousands of local and international visitors and 'the plan' will have nothing short of a massive, detrimental effect on its appeal. For the local residents, inhabitants of Warwick and those who work, commute and take leisure in Warwick, 'the plan' will equally have a negative impact for outweighing any suggested change.

The traffic, particularly during drive time, is already a big issue. If you are not aware already, there have been at least two serious incidents involving children within the past months. Increased traffic will only result in increased risk and ultimately fatalities.

Travel in from any of the neighbouring towns and it is no different. Having recently moved to Warwick from Harbury and previously Kenilworth, I can confirm from first hand experience the intense commuting difficulties that lie therein.

There are three neighbouring schools, so clearly safety and pollution are of paramount concern too.

In précis, congestion, pollution and the safety of all, particularly children should be observed.
