SO now the council is going to build 271 houses on the old Civil Service site, to be followed by more homes on the old British Sugar site.

But have they thought about congestion? What about access to and from the houses?

Boroughbridge Road towards the Poppleton roundabout is busy now, so it will be ten times worse after these houses are built.

What about schools?

Are they going to build another to cater in the long-term for families?

Maybe before the council picks a site it should consider all the knock-on effects such plans could cause in the long term.
