Hoo Development Framework

Strongly disagree

I have a problem with the path/cycle path that is proposed to run along side Wainscott Primary school. For starters it's a safety issue for the children. The school and children have worked hard to build up their forest school, the children should be safe in that area to explore, not at risk of undesirable people that would be just the other side of the fence. The same as any alley anywhere it will be littered, rubbish stuffed into/through the fence (so into the school property) and maybe on the extreme side but drug taking down there would be another worry, and what our children could come into contact with. There was a community meeting in Hoo recently with the police, I didn't realise Hoo had such a problem with drugs, but it does, so its not that unimaginable that it could become a problematic area. There's not a lot of room there, it would be very secluded, one side a dual carriage way and the other side a primary school, I wouldn't feel safe walking down there and i especially wouldnt want my children going down there. Walking through the village is much safer and not much of a longer route.
