I have lived in Romsey since 1982 In that time there have been a lot of changes, not always for the better.

The proposed development at Ashfield is not only ill-thought out it would be bad for the environment of Romsey and the surrounding area; I realise people need housing but we also need roads improved and better infrastructure to cope with this.

The traffic in Romsey is at a standstill quite a number of times during the day. 

We need another surgery as the one we have cannot cope. 

I object to the new development for several reasons. No bridges access the railway as the council have built a cycleway and it has hardly been used, trees are being demolished, and our lovely countryside is being ruined.
