The site does not provide any worthwhile facilities, a footpath to a service station and fast food outlets and a pub, hardly exciting services. All medical/dental services are in Beccles which has overstretched facilities already, Beccles has also a new large estate planned (450 homes) so this is placing extra problems on the medical services but is in Suffolk so doesn't feature in this Plan. All Gillingham residents have to go to Beccles Medical centre and have no choice.
Gillingham development shouldn't go ahead. Beccles is only 3/4 mile away and the development there is huge placing strain on the local services which are under extreme pressure already. It's impossible to see a doctor. Surely the Beccles expansion programme should be taken into account and if so the Gillingham development wouldn't be required.
