•Silsden has suffered years of under-investment. Local services not available to support additional properties.
•New school cannot accommodate existing children.
•Silsden’s doctors do not have the capacity for existing residents.

•Traffic in village centre is exceptionally busy/dangerous to residents, particularly children travelling to school.
•Additional houses/traffic should not be considered until the infrastructure is addressed.

•Continually building in my beautiful village destroying countryside/the things that make it special.
