IT amazes me that a vast number of houses are on the verge of being built on the outskirts of Knutsford without, to my knowledge, extra schools, doctors surgeries and additional parking being put in place first.

Regarding parking: perhaps the land on Northwich Road presently designated for houses should be used for Park and Ride instead so that workers and visitors coming into Knutsford would no longer need to park on the streets?

From the Knutsford residents’ point of view annual passes could be issued to every household for permitted in-town parking.

Food for thought; 1,000 additional houses would probably mean a minimum of 2,000 extra cars and approximately 4,000 extra residents.
