    And what can we do stop the plans to build 1200 houses in an area that will basically finish off Newmarket as one of the worlds leading training centres.

    Assasination would probally be the best form of defence.

    You should check out this site and possibly consider joining this group. Rachel Hood (aka Mrs Gosden) is the Chair.

    I talked with Rachel and Tom Goff on Saturday-and will be trying my best to help the group in the weeks leading up to Christmas.

    I thought this was meant to be ‘intelligent discussion’? "Assassination"? Grow up…

    Newmarket should be under some sort of protected status.

    When i went in September I thought it was a fantastic and wonderful place looking across the Heaths and seeing the huge Millenium Stand which hits you as soon as you see it and gives you Goosebumps.

    1200 houses is a lot and will make it as has been stated a few times just a dormitory town for Cambridge which is full of students and blummin cyclists.

    Newmarket should be left as it is.

    Why indeed, the man’s a complete disgrace, particularly given his involvement in racing and breeding.

    As are the planning authorities, who seem to be able to disregard the views of the vast majority of local people. People of Newmarket – write to your council and tell them in no uncertain terms let this go through and you are OUT at the next election. That might help concentrate their minds.

    Even the Racing world has to move with the times.

    Peole are crying out for homes and the punter cannot stand in their way.

    Tom, there are plenty of homes empty in Newmarket – Studlands Park has loads of capacity after the American Airforce bases nearby have closed down or cut back.

    The town is incredibly busy already and this development would cause gridlock despite the new clocktown roundabout which has, I believe, proved a success.

    Bob – "And what can we do stop the plans to build 1200 houses in an area that will basically finish off Newmarket as one of the worlds leading training centres."

    Surely that is a bit over the top Bob? we all have to make a little sacrifice on our over crowded country/planet.

    neil – "When i went in September I thought it was a fantastic and wonderful place looking across the Heaths and seeing the huge Millenium Stand which hits you as soon as you see it and gives you Goosebumps.
    "

    So because neil has goosebumps 1,200 families are denied a home and workers will be out of a job instead of building homes?
