Respondent: Residents of Park Close, Thurton

Number of people: 7

As residents of Thurton, we strongly oppose any further development in Thurton and the adjoining village of
Ashby St Mary.
We live in a small close of 20 bungalows opposite Thurton School. We already experience a great amount of traffic from parents taking their children to and from school, often resulting in residents having difficulty in gaining access to their own properties.
This situation obviously will only get worse with more properties being built.
For residents of Park Close to actually access Ashby Road and then onto the A146 will become extremely difficult.
Our villages have very little to offer in the way of amenities, the nearest shops, doctors etc being in Loddon, 3 miles away.
The roads in Thurton and Ashby have trouble coping with the traffic we already experience, and we feel concerned regarding the safety and welfare of our children and elderly residents.
There is also great concern from people, mostly the elderly who have to cross the A146 to catch buses into Norwich.
