I am concerned about the new plan which proposes even more extra houses to the south of Lloyd Close and a bigger density to the plan of 2014/15 for the back of Arras Boulevard.

Since 1970's there has been problems with the sewerage system and burst water mains, not to mention the electricity supplies. Also it has to be noted that of the 6 shops originally built only 3 units remain - the others demolished to provide more houses - of which only one remains as a grocery/newsagents. The other two are a beauty salon and a cafe, with the allocated parking spaces used by the residents as well as shoppers and patients of the GP surgery behind.

Due to the school being used by children from Chase Meadow and Hatton Park, they are ferried each day by car for which parking and access is totally inadequate now creating huge jams around the shops area on Slade Hill and the surrounding roads - so much so that the buses and delivery vehicles cannot get through. Daily the congestion on the local roads will surely cause an accident to pedestrians trying to cross - especially the elderly and very young. If it is like this now - how will it be when all the proposed new houses are built, which will obviously be bought by young families with working parents. I understand that there are no plans for other access roads into the village. At present the only access is by narrow country lanes, which are now already being used as a "rat run" from Warwick to the Birmingham Rd, especially when there is a holdup on the M40 or A46.

I would ask the Council to reconsider the extra housing (I assume we have to have some) as the present infrastructure , including the doctors, school, shop and access, appears to be operating at full capacity now and will surely not be able to cope with the new proposals.
