I feel that our villages have been picked on to drive to ruin. I visit Burbage Common most days with my dog for peace and meditation. We enjoy the birds, squirrels, rabbits, and if we're lucky we see one of the colony of muntjaks who have lived there for many years. I feel that we are being driven away. We will not be able to enjoy this for much longer. The already gridlocked roads will be busier with heavier traffic. The ancient trees that keep our air clean will be gone and we will not live in a village any longer but a concrete city. The noise, pollution, devastation will be unbearable and our homes will be devalued. I hope that this unnecessary project for the rich will be stopped before there is no green land left for our children to enjoy.
