We need more children to be born in Spooner row

Calm down, I don't think Spooner Row is at high risk of not surviving.

It wont survive if you try and stop new people coming to the Village.

Who is trying to stop new people from coming in? There's no evidence of that. I think you will find that it is out-of-control housing development that only benefits developers and landowners that people are concerned and fed-up about and quite rightly so.

As we have almost exactly doulble the maximum of houses with Planning permission to what the planners said was our maximum AND this has made not one iota of difference to the infrastructure, whilst I would love to share the optimism , so far it has not worked and so why is it going to work now?

Children moving into the village already have to go out of the village to another school, so sustainability ideals are simply not working. Adding to the problem with more houses will simply make matters worse not better. Of course we could always build an Academy ......

We won't survive unless we get some decent upgrade on facilities around here to bring us up to a basic standard like other villages. We have been missed off the local broadband upgrade, mobile phone receptions are rubbish, no footpath for half of Station Road which is a busy lorry route, no buses and a hopeless train service. Most people who move house would expect to have a proper broadband and mobile phone service and public transport - they won't get it here.

The voice of doom speaks. To get more people to come to the Village you need to allow new homes to be built. Stop complaining and let new people in to save Spooner Row. We dont want Spooner Row to become a museum.

Anonymous, you clearly don't live here and just out to support developers - stop complaining about local people. If people wish to move to a rural village with few amenities then that is their choice and likewise if they want to be surrounded by houses and lots of amenities then they will move to a town or city. It's not that difficult to understand. Stop forcing your "you must be developed with lots of houses" attitude on others.

Read what Julian Halls says, he makes sense.

You speak about museums as if it is a negative thing, people like museums, that's why they go there. If people didn't like them, they would be bankrupt sheds of dusty rubbish.

If you don't like museums, no one is forcing you to go to one.
