The Government and Labour-run Enfield council back the proposals and are using the close proximity to those vital public services as a reason for development to proceed quickly, but they pay absolutely no regard to the consequences of the new town for the residents living in adjacent areas such as Goffs Oak, Bury Green, Cheshunt and Waltham Cross, whose services will be put under immense pressure if the new town goes ahead. That is why new clause 33 is so important. It would address that problem by giving a statutory consultee right to Broxbourne council, so that we can provide input on the new town and the negative effects that it would have on the strategic infrastructure.
