Following the council vote where it was decided not to build on st edmundsbury, i am writing to say this decision should stand for all the reasons that were highlighted during the council debate. These include increased traffic into an area that is already a bottleneck for traffic, and there is no provision to alleviate this. The fact that it is an area of outstanding natural beauty offering a great amenity to a growing local population. Also it needs to be noted the people of the area feel quite strongly about these points, and need to be listened to ahead of billionaire developers who have never been and never will be in the area to understand what we will lose, or will ever be stuck in rush hour traffic in Lucan once in their lives, never mind everyday.
