Mulbarton has already had approximately 1000 new homes built in over the last decade. The village has 'done its bit' as far as development goes. Already it is impossible to get a doctors appointment within a month, the local dentist will not take on anyone else, the village is awash with cars, poor roads, litter, dog mess and is hanging onto the fact that is is only just still able to call itself a village. The surrounding countryside leading down to the tas valley is one of the last escapes to nature we have left and further development in this area will spoil the valley for good. The road into norwich (b1113) is very narrow in places and poorly maintained, it regularly floods, ques at peak times can be 2 miles long to the junction with ipswich road because of the ridiculously timed traffic lights, and finally the road bears witness to regular serious road accidents. Any further development in Mulbarton will kill the village for ever and it will become another urban sprawl of compressed and unsightly development.
