Objects to plan to build 4,500 houses south of Leamington on the basis of impacts of increased traffic:
Impacts on Congestion:
*Journey from Bishops Tachbrook to Leamington is already a headache! There are always delays by Leamington station, despite changes to road layout, by Sainsbury's and Princes Drive.
*Travelling through Warwick is no better because at some point it is necessary to join the Leamington traffic.
*No matter how Europa Way and other roads leading into Leamington are improved there will be traffic jams because the roads into town are inadequate for even current traffic flow let alone an increase.
Impacts on air quality and health:
*Traffic congestion=fumes=pollution=more ill health=cost to NHS.
My objection is linked to increase in traffic.
At present the journey from Bishops Tachbrook to Leamington is a headache! It starts easily enough but then always meets problems no matter which route taken there are hold ups. These are by Leamington station, and despite changes to road layout, by Sainsburys and Princes Drive. Going through Warwick is no better because at some point it is necessary to join the Leamington traffic.
No matter how Europa Way and other roads leading into Leamington are improved there will be traffic jams because the roads into town are inadequate for even current traffic flow let alone an increase.
Traffic congestion=fumes=pollution=more ill health=cost to NHS.
