Whilst accepting that areas need to be found for new housing Scraptoft has already had over 700 houses built in the last 5 years without any improvement to the infrastructure or facilities. To build another 1200 houses even though promises are made regarding facilities and infrastructure will lead to horrendous problems with traffic , insufficient education and health care provisions and turn Scraptoft into a high density area of population with all the associated problems that brings. Scraptoft has always been known as a village but will now only be an extension of Netherhall, Thurnby Lodge and Hamilton.
