Representation Summary:

Proposal unsuitable as it is not accurate - there is next to no public transport in Spooner Row and virtually no safe foot paths to make pedestrians safe with the increased population.

Full text:

Whereas I have no overall objection to the expansion of the village of Spooner Row, I strongly feel that the misrepresentations in this proposal should be noted. The village school has no issue with pupil numbers, and indeed new housing will only lead to increased over subscription for places at this school, which has no room to expand.
Furthermore, there is NO public bus service in the village and a train service so limited it is impossible to work a 9-5 job in either Norwich or Cambridge and commute from Spooner Row. These issues should be corrected or accurately build into any development plan before further go ahead is given. The village will only become overrun with cars and has insufficient safe pathways to cope with this.
