Harborough Local Plan 2011-2031, Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 6010

Received: 01/11/2017

Respondent: Mr Gary Shepherd

Representation Summary:

This is long overdue. The building of over 700 houses during the last 5 years has not been matched by the provision of additional social and retail outlets for the community. Having lived in the area for 20 years i have seen no improvement to either despite the enormous increase in population. Unless this is done now Scraptoft will become another area where in the absence of social outlets,we will be subjected to an increase in anti social behaviour and crime which is becoming increasingly prevalent elsewhere.
