Where is all the planned infrastructure to cope with the increase in housing?

Regular grid lock on A11 after Wymondham right up to Thickthorn roundabout. Can take over 1h to get into Norwich by car from Spooner Row and similarly to get to the park and ride in Hethersett. If you're thinking that living in Spooner Row means you can get to Norwich easily, I'd think again. They keep talking about plans to to ease congestion at Thickthorn but dualling A11 took over 20 years so don't hold your breath. Ridiculous.

For the development on the land at School Lane (which has changed from SP02 to SP03 for some reason), the requirement for pedestrian safety has changed from providing a long footpath from the development to the school (which is unachievable) to one which is only in the IMMEDIATE VICINITY around the new development. The whole length of School Lane is used regularly by parents dropping off their children. Children as young as toddlers are often seen walking in the road. The council clearly put the developers profit above the safety of the residents who pay their salaries and pensions. The developer should be aware that this is an accident waiting to happen and they will share responsibility.

I agree and what's more the immediate area of the development is where it is most prone to flooding on the highway. The extra hard ground surface of the new entrance area will make this worse. Perhaps the Authority will provide boats or wading boots on these occasions.

I can't quite believe that the two much-needed road safety necessities in the current Local Plan will no longer be included in the new one for School Lane SP03. The local circumstances havent changed. Is this really what the District Council wants?

Thank you to the Community Council for supporting residents in School Lane who had concerns with the implications of the revised planning policy of SPO3. Your support is much appreciated.

The Government has abandoned its housing targets. Will Local Plans reflect this?

What local infrastructure will run alongside the extra housing for Spooner Row?

My dentist is no longer taking new NHS patients.

The lorries using Station Road and Bunwell Road are getting worse.

 It's crazy, Newalls lorries at night are the worst, the amount of times we are getting woken up is ridiculous, kids put to bed then woken at midnight.
