Respondent: The Wyvern Shipping Co Ltd.

Representation Summary:

Where is the information about the need for open spaces, nurseries, schools, Health provisions (dentists, doctors or walk-in centres) as well as shops and pubs/cafes.
As you stated in your documents the population of Bedfordshire has grown by more than double the national average since 2015.
Your own website states that 'Leighton-Linslade is the largest settlement in Central Bedfordshire' this quotes 2021 figures and the town has grown significantly more than the 4800 additional residents quoted.
With a population of around 40,000 people, Leighton-Linslade is the largest settlement in Central Bedfordshire.
Leighton-Linslade is an area of significant growth. There will be an additional 6,000 new homes from southern and eastern expansion projects over the next decade. Current estimates project that by 2021 the population of Leighton Linslade, as a whole, will increase to 44,800 residents.
Leighton Buzzard has only had one new lower school built and no other facilities, where are the additional Doctors surgeries and health hub which have been 'sold' on the plans of the new estates to the new residents of our town? Building endless houses without facilities leads to many social problems.
