The proposal to build further housing behind Church Meadow is ludicrous! The infrastructure is inadequate to cope. Our small lanes/ roads in Alpington with few paths cannot cope now with the traffic flow. The Slad / Slade Lane is narrow with no paths for walkers and cars have to pull in on many occasions to allow for oncoming traffic. Doctors/ Dentists can't cope with servicing our current residents / patients now!
We have extremely poor public transport, our lanes which are full of pot holes as well as our roads just cannot cope with current traffic flow. The Council do not maintain the roads to satisfactory standards now so more vehicles are going to cause more problems / damage. Use the funds to improve our infrastructure rather than giving us more problems!!!
We have no shops. Our GPs and Dentists are already over stretched. More housing means more cars (on average 2 cars per household so that is 50 additional vehicles) causing more pollution to the environment / our village. All this contant building of new homes spoils the environment, takes away our countryside and destroys natural habitats for wildlife.
