Westfield Parish Council are in favour of this site over others previously suggested. The development of this site will involve specific highways considerations, but would have less of an impact on our local school and the parking problems associated with it.

Together with the land at Westfield Down and Goulds Drive the Parish Council see Moorhurst as a far better option than other suggested sites. Moreover development of the Moorhurst site would have little impact on our local school and therefore not contribute to the parking chaos at beginning and end of the school day. Development at the Moorhurst site would involve specific highways considerations regarding traffic calming measures, in addition to those already specified for The Down development. This would be a very welcome addition to address fast flowing traffic on the A28 through Westfield. Likewise, the strengthening/widening of footways would also be a most welcome improvement.
