Market Harborough as a town is losing it's character and identity. The proposed development either already committed or on new sites laid out in the local plan, will turn the town into an over congested sprawling area. Communtiy facilities have not grown - difficulties getting doctors appointments and under funding of local schools. Valued community hubs such as the Red Lion in Great Bowden has been allowed to close. The range of shops are no longer diverse enough and residents are likely to travel to other towns/cities to shop.
