Lack of affordable housing for those
waiting to get on the first rung of the ladder;
A limited sense of community, as people
tend not to live and work in the village;
Poor public transport service;
Intermittent dangerous road conditions
especially for pedestrians with young children;
Creeping municipalisation of suburban,
not rural character - tarmac pavements, ugly street lights;
Erosion of natural habitats for wildlife;
although it is noted that the Belmont Estate has made
a great impact with the planting of miles of hedgerows.
Lack of opportunity of greater socialisation;
although the village hall is at last becoming a focal
point for the community;
Lack of public open spaces/playground;
Opportunities for development are limited
by planning /conservation policies;
