ENVIRONMENT
The landfill and the adjacent areas, on the other side
of the stream north of Dorchester Way (presently privately owned), form
part of the proposed Belmont/Haywood Country Park. This is a long-term
project. In the short-to-medium term, how should this space (or part of
it) be used?

TRAFFIC
Funding Fair responses showed that many residents - some
of them children - see traffic on and around the estate as a problem.
House-building is still not complete and each new house adds one, two
or three cars to the estate's fleet. The A465 is too narrow for rush-hours
and is vulnerable to hold-ups.
