Flitwick Station and Retail Expansion

This development should raise concerns: 
http://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/news/april/flitwick-regeneration.aspx 

I suggest you write and object and cite that looking at Ampthill would be better:

1. this development will act as a major traffic generator informing demands for parking and resulting in more congestion.

2. We need a crossing from the footbridge over the road to the Swan Pub

3. Bus shelter to Ampthill needs cleaning, better information with RTI or similar and later buses linking the station and the town of Ampthill which is expanding too

4. Flitwick deals with traffic from a wider area- M1/Milton Keynes, Olney and Wixams for a start and the town will be over-run with cars.

5. Ampthill offers relief from the Steppingley Road side off the A507 and could offer more parking capacity for the area generally

6. this development puts more pressure on Froghall, Road which has a bridge height restriction

7. Station platforms at Ampthill need to be staggered for land-access issues with entrances and exits both sides of the MML and via a foot/cycle exit south of industrial estate into Froghall Road for Redbourne School and East Flitwick which aligns to Froghall Ropad and A507 roundabout now - all spaces being filled in with developments. Options need to be kept open. For solidarity and further support please see Twitter @ReopenStations or contact
