Full text:

As residents who have lived in this area for over 40 years (in Diss for 68 years) there have been 5 new housing estates this side of Roydon and Diss boundary with far too much traffic on small lanes, back and forth to Roydon Junior and Diss High schools apart from all the other traffic. Wildlife corridors will be lost from Roydon Fen to Shelfanger as well as wooded areas for shelter.
The market town of Diss can be gridlocked now with through traffic,local access and getting into the centre of town a nightmare. Cars parked for workers, and visitors to Gazes Auction Rooms on residential roads is already dangerous so more traffic on these roads is not needed.
It is virtually impossible to register with a Dentist or get an appointment at the Doctors - our infrastructure is overstretched already !!
