REGARDING the Peel Hall proposals (Warrington Guardian, January 28) I cannot see the need to build houses on the green field site when there is so much brown field land within six miles.

The traffic generated by 1,200 houses onto an oversubscribed road system is likely to cause problems.

I would estimate that 1,200 houses could generate 1,800 cars on our roads morning and evening.

Traffic at these peak times is already difficult enough.

With 1,200 new dwellings, can you advise me where the people living there will send their children to school?

And where they will shop? Are you certain a new primary school will be built on the site?

The local doctor surgeries are already oversubscribed, do you propose to build a new surgery?

And how would you persuade a doctor to set up a new practice there?

Flooding is also liable to be an issue in this area, where are you intending to drain excess floodwater to? The land backs onto the motorway.

Even houses at quite a distance from motorways are affected by the traffic noise, and there is also liable to be a temptation for adventurous youngsters to find their way through fencing, to go and play with the traffic there.
