1. I am amazed that anyone would consider this a good idea given the additional traffic congestion it will cause on a semi main road in Lindfield.

   Also, given there is another childcare centre being proposed for the library site, again, why do we need this centre.

   It is bad enough on a regular school day morning with Lindfield public school parents parking in ridiculous places putting themselves and their children at risk. This proposed centre will only compound the issue.

   I would ask that someone seriously consider the implications of such a development.

2. I think it's a good location. As parents we had to drop off one child at childcare then the other at school. Given the area lost a childcare centre with the UTS development and it was not easy to find another placement due to the amount of kids in the area now with all the extra units that have been constructed over the last few years.

   Good to see some extra services being built rather than another apartment block with no consideration on the effect on local residents.

3. SOPHIE DELEZIO. - remember this story.

   Strong consideration needs to be given to this development.

   Yes more facilities are needed but not at the expense of young lives

   Grosvenor Rd is already overused due to more developments locally is used by local and tourist buses, trucks well above recommended tonnage added to being the local Race Track at any time.

   Please rethink this proposal with serious consideration.

4. I have lived on Grosvenor Road for over 13 years and my children have attended Lindfield Public School. I'm very well aware of the impact this proposal will have. The area no doubt needs more services however on Grosvenor Road IS NOT THE PLACE TO DO IT.

   The traffic on Grosvenor Road is heavy at the best of times. Speed limits are regularly exceeded in both directions, especially down hill. You only need to look at each roundabout to see the sign in the middle have been knocked over consistently. The proposal will significantly:

   Increase traffic congestion during the am and pm periods above and beyond that of regular traffic and that of Lindfield Public School parents.
   Increase the risk of incidents between cars and pedestrians, including children
   Increase traffic and/or parking infringements (which will happen daily but will not be policed)

   I'm disappointed that I heard about this proposal from the local community and did not receive a notice from the council on a commercial proposal that clearly has a greater impact on the community.

   Please vote no to this proposal. It doesn't make sense for this site.
