Expansion of Farleigh

Dear Senior Council Officer.

They feel like the village has lost its character and will not be supporting the new expansion.

The Headteacher of the local primary school has stated that after the Ticknell Green Estate was built they have constructed a further 2 new classrooms to hold the many new school children.

Once the development is built there will be a lot more traffic around which is potential danger for the children.

Many local news and estate agents are excited for the expansion at Dancers Hill. An estate agent stated they will definitely be backing the new expansion as...
