The land being considered for housing development will add more cars to the already congested roads around the Eldwick and Gilstead area. To suggest everyone will use public transport is frankly deluded. I have stood waiting for a bus in Eldwick when we have had work experience students needing to use the service. They do not follow any pattern, certainly they do not stick to time tables and often they simply do not turn up.
At the top of Heights Lane by the exit to the roundabout every year, usually when it is extremely hot, the sewerage system backs up. It makes a foul smelling froth which comes up through the manhole in the road. Sometimes it can reach a height of 4 feet so cars have to swerve around it.
The land is used for equestrian recreation.
