I have huge concerns over traffic congestion on Langley Lane if this project goes ahead. For many years there has been significant traffic congestion caused by the school changing to a primary school around 2000. Throughout the year but in winter especially the road is dangerous due to double parking and parents cars driving too fast up and down. A child was knocked down and injured three years ago and there are regular near misses. The road comes to a standstill every morning and afternoon for an hour or so at school time. Local residents have to act as informal "traffic wardens" to get the traffic flowing again. Buses and larger cars regularly get stuck - so there is no chance for construction lorries or emergency vehicles if the project goes ahead. In addition, any building will ruin a beautiful area of countryside and areas of wildlife.
