Secondly, the development is inherently dangerous on the small narrow local roads on the Tollgates Estate.
Culminating with the arrival on to an already dangerous junction to the North Trade Road, shall we say 60 plus more cars using the junction, with cars already parking on grass verges and double yellow lines, vision is already extremely poor.
What made Rother make such a catastrophic decision?
Were there incentives of some sort? Was Claverham School consulted properly about the new added dangers for the pupils?
