Representation by Orford & Gedgrave Parish Council (Orford & Gedgrave Parish Council)

A majority of the Councillors wished for Orford & Gedgrave Parish Council to register an interest. Orford & Gedgrave are small outlaying villages wishing to understand what is going on with the development to enable us to ensure that the parishioners are kept informed with relevant information. The infrastructure pressure resulting from this development and the need to mitigate them maximally for the sake of the local communities , is very important. The stretched infrastructure includes education - school numbers by an influx of additional working families; health - increase numbers at GP surgeries and hospitals; transport - roads, increase in vehicle numbers from the large number of workers that are planned to come into our area from outside. Air pollution is another concern, as is any impact this may have on our coastline.
