64 additional homes will increase traffic through the village and create subsequent pollution
Due to the position of Harden Primary School on Long Lane, it will be exposed to even more pollution with the inevitable increase in family cars and service vehicles these developments will generate. In Harden, the flow of traffic on the main road is reduced to a single lane road caused by parked vehicles and the often long queues waiting their turn to move.
Increasing the number of homes, and inevitably the size of the school, plus the number of vehicles on Long Lane; would put youngsters and staff at unnecessary risk.
We must keep in mind the landmark ruling case of Ella Kissi-Debrah who died, aged 9 in 2013. We must not put our children unnecessarily at risk from air pollution.
