Trevor Graham, pictured here at St John's Church in Harleston, has warned that public services could be strained if plans for a new development in the town are approved. Speaking to Park Radio on Friday, Cllr Graham said more infrastructure must be completed ahead of the development if public facilities and services are to cope with such a big influx. “I personally feel that we definitely need more school places and we can’t wait for the completion of the new homes before we have improvements to the infrastructure.
