Dear Sir,

I write in response to your "Yes to homes plan" (11 January), advising the approval of Malvern Hills District Council for almost 1,000 homes to be built north of the A44 Bromyard Road at Lower Broadheath.

From your map it appears this would be exactly on the route of the much needed Northern Link? Or does this mean that in future the extension will now never be able to take place because of "existing housing"? Ironically, this development can only exacerbate the traffic problems in St. Johns, further emphasising the necessity for the Link! 

I remain yours in amazement,

Martin Harris
