The Northern relief rd will attract commuters to the blackdown area who would use the transport links to the south, thus increasing long distance journeys and traffic flow through already dangerous areas like Milverton, Old Milverton Village and the Rugby Rd. The siting of a major development at the end of it practically garuntees this.
It is part way to surrounding leamington and warwick by a ring-road.
The provision of the northern relief rd in map 5 is an unnecessary reinforcement of poorly placed development. It will provide excellent transport links fron Blackdown to J15 via the A46 for commuters to south leamington, south warwickshire, Coventry, the M40 and warwick parkway; This will draw employment and economy away from the immediate area of blackdown where it is proposed to develop it and is counter productive in considering reducing transport use and improving the proximity of housing to employment.
It will provide excellent communication links from Blackdown into north leamington and warwick via sandy lane and old milverton rd. These run through a small village and housing estates which provide pedestrian routes accross the road to 2 schools. The recent inclusion of traffic calming and speed reduction measures in these areas highlight how dangerous increasing traffic in this area is considered.
Joining the A46 roundabout near leek wooten will add to the traffic problems along the stretch of rd approaching warwick and add to issues on the roundabout and the 2 lane section of the A46 adjoining it.
