Southbourne already has a two class entry primary school with no provision in the plan to expand this to take into account the extra population.
The doctors surgery is already busy and full to capacity and due to the difficulty in recruitment of GP's in the area it is unlikely to meet the demands of an increase in population.
The Stein Road railway crossing is already congested at peak times. It is the main route out of Southbourne to access the A27. Children attending the local schools cross this route and there is potential for pedestrian fatalities and injuries. Also the extra pollution created by the extra vehicles will increase the incidence of respiratory disease and exacerbate existing disease. It can also contribute to an increase in dementa.

What improvements or changes would you suggest?

Build along the A259 corridor. This leads to more direct access to major roads.
