Burley has been identified as a local growth center. However, there is very limited information on how local infrastructure would be improved to support this growth. For example, roads are very busy (it takes me over an hour to commute only 13 miles (*pre lockdown)), you rarely get a space on the train in rush hour, it is difficult to see a doctor, and local children were not able to get into local primary schools recently because they are oversubscribed. I am really worried about the school situation (both primary and secondary) and how this can support the huge growth planned for the area. In addition, the growth is all on green belt, which is very important for wildlife, wellbeing and mental health and to protect the feel of the village. I object to Burley being identified as a local growth area.
