We object due to the projected increase in volume of traffic to our road which does not have the holding capacity of a large road.
There are already a large number of parked cars on the street due to the limited off street car parking available to householders, hence further making St Fremund Way a road not suitable for high volumes of traffic.
Increased noise / traffic / pollution would not be welcome.
I, and my family, object to the plans regarding the development of Land at Campion School / South Sydenham for the following reasons:
- We moved to our current location to enjoy a quiet neighbourhood
- Making St Fremund Way a through road would increase traffic / noise / pollution in the immediate area around our house which we find very unwelcome
- There is already inadequate parking space for families with two cars and therefore a large number of cars are already parked on the street. Making this road a through-road would increase speed and traffic to a dangerous level
For these reasons, we feel very strongly against the proposed plans. Especially as they include plans to increase the traffic flow and general traffic volumes through a road which we feel was built with a low-capacity level of traffic in mind (i.e. its current capacity).
This would adversely affect the entire neighbourhood and make the area more dangerous for children and the elderly.
