Respondent: Dr Sarah Harrison
Since housing development has been in practice entirely disconnected from the development of services to support normal life, Mulbarton has absorbed as much growth as it can handle. More households will simply further degrade access to services within the village for both current residents and newcomers. Congestion is already an issue at school opening and closing hours; local roads are too small for the traffic they are expected to carry; surgery appointments are difficult to come by; litter and anti-social behaviour are noticeably increasing. None of these aspects will be improved by the addition of new households.
