Respondent: Philip Moore

Representation Summary:

Strongly opposed to the moving of the pedestrian crossing because of safety. If it is not in an appropriate place for the amenities it will not be used as much. It is generally less safe further up the hill to the North.

I am opposed to the proposed plans to build at the rear of the pub in Catsfield. I have personal reasons in that the building work will disrupt my life, future tenancies also doing the same and will prompt me to move away. This much is obvious and of course I understand that no one wants new building in their back yard. Beyond that, I genuinely feel that to move the pedestrian crossing further North is a bad that that will some day result in a death. Even now it is far enough away from the shop to encourage anyone leaving it for Church Lane to attempt to cross before it. I know because I do. Children will do it for sure and there will be accidents. Also, cars are moving faster from hill the further up you go. Where it is now there is time for good visibility and speed.
