A Unique Place
Having listened to Tritax team today in Countesthorpe would it be an idea for a new plan to be shown to the public which matches the reality of what Tritax what to do, current concept is far from being true representation.
Give local residents (within say 1 mile) substantial quantities of free shares in your company. As you make huge profits we can we.
Community and Facilities
How will this improve things for existing residents? Flooding, traffic, health services not to mention the impact on the environment. There isn't enough detail about the impacts of this. Surely the starting point should be how things can be made better!
As Tritax are ultimately only interested in building logistics parks , how will they ensure that the house builders will build the infrastructure and amenities first so as to avoid soulless Garden Village
Space for Padel tennis courts
Fastest growing sport
I dont want it but I understand the alternative is probably more building and development in the existing villages - when that happens schools, gps, dentist etc cant cope. There needs to be benefits to this garden village for existing residents - infrastructure first
As a resident of Countesthorpe I'm very concerned that the level of traffic using the Willoughby road to Countesthorpe will cause huge traffic issues. What about all the school children crossing the roads!
Buy houses from residents in Willoughby Waterleys at full market value at the very beginning so those who don’t want to live near the development or don’t want to see house values fall, and quite frankly want to get as far away as possible can do so. You also get rid of objectors
Transport and Connectivity
There appears to be a complete lack of detail about improvements to the existing highways to facilitate the additional vehicle traffic. The A426 , Countesthorpe Road junction is already dangerous. it will need a large traffic island here to deal with the growth in traffic.
residents of Blaby, already know how flooding at Crow Mills and Leicester Road railway bridge Blaby cause traffic grid lock across the area. Blaby is difficult due to the railway, at Crow mills the road can and needs be raised above flooding hight to keep one route open for the increased traffic.
Absolute priority needs to be improving infrastructure (new M1 junction) and providing facilities such as shops, cafe, and other spaces to enable a sense of community not just houses.
I have looked at the PDF and would it be an idea for the traffic from WP Garden Village to move via the new M1 Junction to avoid the obvious congestion problems that will occur if traffic moves towards Countesthorpe and Blaby
Without the new junction this cannot happen. It is essential for this to even have a chance of getting off the ground. No development without it.
Close the road between Willoughby Waterleys and the development so all the traffic doesn’t go through the village
We would need a separate singular access road which isn’t used by others as a short cut / rat run
